He worked at the former University of Natal (1999-2004) as a lecturer. He moved to Fuzhou University in 2004 as a professor of mathematics. He is a member of the Abdus-Salam School of Mathematical Sciences at Lahore, Pakistan as a Higher Education Commission approved PhD supervisor. Sheng was a vice director of the Center for Discrete Mathematics at Fuzhou University (2004-2010), program director of the University of Hertfordshire Programme at Fuzhou University (2005-2006), and vice director of the Chinese Society of Combinatorics and Graph Theory (2006-2010). He is a fellow if the Institute of Combinatorics and Its Applications, a member of the Australasian Combinatorial Mathematics Society, Reviewer of Mathematical Reviews of the American Mathematical Society. Professor Bau refereed academic papers for the following journals: Ars Combinatoria, Australasian Journal of Combinatorics, Graphs and Combinatorics, Random Structures and Algorithms, SIAM Journal of Discrete Mathematics, Discrete Mathematics. Research interests include: cycles in regular graphs, edge colorings of cubic graphs, decycling number of graphs, transformation graphs, random regular graphs, random algorithms, differential equation methods, orders in graph families, isomorphic factorizations of special Cayley graphs and networks.
