Professor Du Wencai from the Institute of Data Engineering and Science (IDEAS) has been invited by eight international academic conferences to serve as the chairperson of the program committee.
Professor Du Wencai, Dean of the Institute of Data Engineering and Science (IDEAS) at the University of Saint Joseph (USJ) was invited to serve as the Chair of the Programme Committee for eight international academic conferences in 2026. The conferences will be held in multiple locations across Europe and Asia and will focus on cutting-edge fields such as signal processing and artificial intelligence. This appointment recognises Professor Du’s international academic influence and the university’s global research competitiveness.
Chairing the Programme Committee is a key role at international academic conferences, awarded only to leading scholars with significant achievements and high recognition in their field. The chairperson is responsible for coordinating the agenda and ensuring the quality of the review process. Several major international academic centres in Europe and Asia simultaneously extended invitations to the same scholar to chair the programme committee. This is a unique occurrence in the international academic community, which demonstrates Professor Du’s global academic appeal. It is also high recognition of his professional capabilities and research achievements from the international academic community.
Eight conferences will be held in a hybrid online and offline format, in locations including: Copenhagen, Denmark, Singapore, and cities such as Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Hangzhou in China. Specifically: SP 2026, Asia EISC 2026, CVAA 2026, DBML 2026, ICAISD 2026, DSIS 2026, IPPRCV 2026, IMIC 2026.
These conferences focus on cutting-edge science and technology, attracting global scholars and providing a platform for interdisciplinary integration and the commercialisation of research outcomes. Professor Du will draw on his academic experience to facilitate communication and drive innovation in related fields.
Professor Du Wencai is a leading figure in the fields of artificial intelligence and data science. He has published over 200 EI/SCI papers and received numerous awards. He also serves as an associate editor of international journals and enjoys an excellent reputation. This appointment further consolidates his international influence and strengthens the academic voice of Macao, China.
USJ places great importance on international cooperation and scientific research innovation. It collaborates with over a hundred institutions worldwide and performs outstandingly in international rankings. Professor Du’s achievements are a personal honour and an important outcome of the school’s international development, enhancing its global reputation.
According to industry experts, it is rare for a professor to lead eight international conferences in one year. This is indicative of the enhanced international influence of Macao scholars, and will inspire scientific researchers to upgrade scientific research levels in related fields in Macao.
