Editor/Author Biographies

I am Poshan (Sam) Yu, a Chinese Australian professional with an astonishingly diverse background and an extensive collection of remarkable accomplishments. In the academic sphere, I currently teach at the University of Victoria Program at Soochow University. Previously, I held the position of an external professor of financial technology and finance at SKEMA Business School. Additionally, I serve as a visiting researcher at the Australian Studies Centre of Shanghai University, a guest professor at emlyon business school China, and an adjunct faculty member at George Washington University's master (finance) program at Renmin University of China. As a visiting professor at Krirk University in Thailand and an EU-Asia research coordinator at the European Business Institute in Luxembourg, I bring a truly global perspective to my teaching and research activities. I am also a member of the IP & Innovation Researchers of Asia (IPIRA) Network and the Global South Dialogue on Economic Crime (GSDEC), further enriching my academic engagement. My prior role as a casual academic at the University of South Australia Business School has significantly enhanced and diversified my academic portfolio. My scholarly pursuits are extensive and multifaceted. As an editor for the European Academic Journal (Special Issue) - European Business Institute in Luxembourg, an associate editor for Humanities & Social Sciences Communications (an SSCI-indexed journal), and an associate editor for the International Journal of Interdisciplinary Research in Social Science, I play a crucial role in the dissemination of knowledge. I am also an author and reviewer for a number of prestigious journals and academic presses, including Applied Economics, Applied Artificial Intelligence, Cogent Economics & Finance, Humanities and Social Sciences Communications, Journal of Chinese Economic and Business Studies, Journal of Digital Learning and Education, The Singapore Economic Review, ILMA Journal of Social Sciences & Economics, Journal of Environmental Issues and Climate Change, Advances in Global Economic and Business Journal, The Interdisciplinary Social Sciences Journal Collection, Common Ground Research Networks, Imprint - Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, Innovative Teaching and Learning, IBT Journal of Business Studies, Journal of Infrastructure Policy and Development, and Innovative Informatics and Artificial Intelligence Research. Moreover, I am an international editorial advisory board member for several edited books such as Advancing STEM Education and Innovation in a Time of Distance Learning (Scopus-indexed), Multidisciplinary Perspectives Towards Building a Digitally Competent Society (Scopus-indexed), Handbook of Research on SDGs for Economic Development, Social Development, and Environmental Protection, and Implications for Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Development in the Blue Economy. I have released more than 12 journal articles, among which 6 are listed as ABDC: B/SSCI. I have also contributed over 52 peer-reviewed book chapters imprinted by renowned publishers like IGI Global, Routledge, and Springer. I have edited 13 books, with 7 English edited books indexed by Scopus and 6 Chinese edited books. Notably, the book about Innovation & Exploration: The Development of FinTech in Jiangsu China has received the 14th Outstanding Achievement Award of Philosophy and Social Sciences in Suzhou and the 3rd prize of the 2018 Jiangsu Provincial Education Science Research Achievement Award by Jiangsu Provincial Department of Education. My receipt of four Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU) National University Teaching Innovation Awards from 2016 to 2020 and being recognized as a top contender in the same national competition in 2016 led to my appointment as the Institute of Leadership and Education Advanced Development (ILEAD) Research Fellow by XJTLU. In 2021, I received The Outstanding Contribution Award for Industrial Research Development in China, CIE100 issued by Wisdom China Magazine: Beijing. Beyond academia, I am actively involved in various industries. I am an entrepreneur and venture capitalist, collaborating with alumni and senior faculty members from Cambridge University. Additionally, I am a guest financial news commentator on over 30 media platforms in China. In the business world, I hold significant positions. I am a regional partner in China for FasterCapital based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. I also serve as vice president at Tinbowah Investment in Beijing and as an honorary vice president of the Belt and Road Blockchain Association. Furthermore, I mentor businesses for AIC RAISE in Coimbatore, India, the Griffith Industry Mentoring Program in Australia, and University College London Innovation & Enterprise. In 2023, I was invited to act as a venture capital panel judge and mentor at 'Y&Archer A Stream 2023' conference in Jeju, South Korea. My research interests are broad and encompass financial technology, regulatory technology, blockchain, web 3.0 in financial services, generative AI, public-private partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, private equity, venture capital, start-ups, family offices, IoTs, supply chain finance, intellectual property, art finance, wine, back-door listing, and Chinese economy & policy. My extensive experience in international fintech, edtech, startup, social media, and cleantech companies across India, the UK, Australia, Hong Kong, and China is truly remarkable. My three-year tenure in prominent leadership positions in Chinese Australian media marketing and public relations in Australia has had a profound influence on my current approach as an academic and business consultant. I am firmly committed to making significant contributions in the fields of academia, industry, and research, and I look forward to continuing this journey in the future.
