In the following years, he served as a professor in Tsinghua University, CAS Institute of Mathematics.
Hua was the founder and pioneer of many fields in new China's mathematics research. He wrote more than 200 thesis and monographs, many of which have become classic documents of immortal value.
Besides pure mathematics research, Hua also did a lot of work in the fields of mathematics applications. He made the mathematics serve the national economy and became the first Chinese scientist who closely combined the mathematics theoretic studies and practical production, and obtained enormous economic results in many fields.
