Dr David Xu named as AIS Distinguished Member with Cum Laude designation
Dr David Jingjun Xu, Associate Professor of the Department of Information Systems, received the honour of "Distinguished Member - Cum Laude" by the Association of Information Systems (AIS) in December 2020, in recognition of his significant impact and commitment to the association.
Dr Xu is among the 25 information systems scholars in the world having the Cum Laude designation. The honour is only given to those who have held continuous AIS membership for at least 10 years, served in a leadership role in AIS or AIS-related activity and have been published in at least four publications in an AIS or AIS-affiliated journal.
"I am delighted to be recognised as an AIS Distinguished Member with Cum Laude designation. My thanks to the AIS’s selection. I am also grateful to the College and the IS department for the generous support to faculty to conduct research and make contributions to the field," said Dr Xu.
Dr Xu’s research effort was also demonstrated in his recent accomplishments in the information systems field. In December 2020, Dr Xu received the Best Associate Editor Award at the International Conference of Information Systems (ICIS) for the "Digital Commerce and the Digitally Connected Enterprise" track. In addition, according to the AIS Research Rankings released in January 2021, Dr Xu is ranked the 4th most productive (the first-author count, tie) information systems scholar worldwide for publishing in the top-4 (or top-8) IS journals during the past ten years (2011-2020).
The College congratulates Dr Xu for his remarkable achievements.
