ScienceView

Academic Advisory Committee

The Academic Advisory Committee of ScienceView brings together distinguished international scholars with complementary expertise spanning artificial intelligence, multimodal computing, educational technology, data science, international relations and higher education strategy. Its current members include Professor Paulo Quaresma (University of Évora, Portugal), Professor Jianbiao Dai (University of Saint Joseph & Shanghai Jiao Tong University), and Professor Shuguang Zhang (Former Rector of City University of Macau).

Drawing on their rich track records of leading research laboratories, coordinating EU and national research projects, serving as university senior administrators, and nurturing cross-border academic collaboration, the Committee provides independent, interdisciplinary strategic guidance for ScienceView. It oversees academic quality standards, supports the development of global credit and credential interoperability frameworks, facilitates international scholarly exchanges, and advises on responsible AI deployment, multimodal research, and cross-regional higher-education cooperation. Rooted in evidence-based scholarship and inclusive global dialogue, the Committee helps ScienceView build a trusted, open platform for cross-disciplinary scientific communication and international academic networking.
