About

I am a dedicated and passionate researcher specializing in Lie conformal algebras , with a strong focus on cohomology theory, deformation theory, and homotopy structures. My work lies at the intersection of pure mathematics and theoretical physics, particularly in the study of higher algebraic structures arising in vertex algebrassymmetry algebras, and integrable systems.

I completed my PhD in Mathematics at Zhejiang University (2018–2021), where I focused on infinite-dimensional Lie algebras and their generalizations, including Hom-Lie and BiHom-conformal algebras. Following this, I served as a postdoctoral researcher at the Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology (2022–2024) , during which time I was awarded the prestigious LongShen Postdoctoral Fellowship (2022) , recognizing excellence in early-career mathematical research.

Since July 2024, I have been working as an Assistant Researcher at the Henan Academy of Sciences, where I continue to explore novel directions in conformal algebras and develop advanced cohomological tools for studying operator-type structures, such as Rota-Baxter operators, modified r-matrices, and crossed homomorphisms. I am currently supported by a research grant from the Henan Academy of Sciences (No. 241819105) .

My research has led to several significant contributions published in reputable international journals, including:
Complex Analysis and Operator Theory (2025)
Topology and Its Applications (2024)
Symmetry (2024)
Journal of Algebra and Its Applications (2024)
Additionally, I have authored multiple preprints on topics such as the cohomology of Hom-associative dialgebras, derivations of Lie conformal superalgebras, and generalized Lie triple derivations, some of which are available on arXiv.

I also collaborate internationally and have supervised two PhD students informally during my postdoctoral period. My recent participation in the RL-China 2024 Workshop at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology further reflects my commitment to academic exchange and professional growth.

I am fluent in English and proficient in Urdu and Punjabi. While based in China since 2018, I maintain active collaborations with researchers both within China and abroad.
