As an early researcher in the dynamic fields of data science and information systems, Qishang Chua has cultivated a diverse academic background that bridges technology, finance, and educational innovation. His educational journey spans two prestigious Australian institutions: the University of Canberra where he completed a master’s degree in information technology and systems (specialised in Data Science), and the Australian National University, where he earned a double bachelor’s degree in actuarial studies and commerce (major in Finance). Qishang’s research interests converge at the intersection of technology and education, as evidenced by a recent contribution to the "Online and Autonomous Teaching" paper, presented at the Australasian Conference of Information Systems (ACIS) in 2024 where his work explores flexible learning methodologies in the context of pandemic-induced educational transformations.
