He became a memberof the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1980.

He specialized in the research and teaching of mathematics and applied mathematics, especially harmonic analysis. He achieved groundbreaking and far-reaching results in the study of the uniqueness theory of multiple trigonometric series and the theory of summation and approximation of multiple Fourier series. He was the pioneer and academic leader in multivariate harmonic analysis in China. He systematically studied the finite Walsh transform, thus laying the theoretical foundation for its application to image processing.
