The research team led by Prof. Ye Wang, Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer and Information Science, Faculty of Science and Technology, University of Macau, was recently invited by the Macau Social Welfare Bureau to conduct an academic sharing and exchange session themed “Information Security of Gambling and the Prevention of Gambling Disorder.” The event aimed to promote the integration of academic research and public service practice, and to advance the continuous optimization of responsible gambling and problem gambling support services in Macau.
During the sharing session, Prof. Wang introduced the team’s latest research achievements in responsible gambling information design, digital safety interventions, and intelligent counseling platform development. He also presented specific recommendations, including how to enhance the usability and communication effectiveness of responsible gambling information, and how to assist gambling helpline counselors in improving service procedures and intervention strategies. The research was mainly led by PhD students Huang Zhuangtong and Guan Yongqi from the Department of Computer and Information Science.
The research outcomes attracted great attention and positive responses from the participants of the Social Welfare Bureau. Both sides conducted in-depth discussions on further advancing the digitalization and intelligent transformation of Macau’s 24-hour Gambling Counseling Hotline, and planned to cooperate in building an intelligent “24-Hour Gambling Counseling Hotline” service platform serving Macau and the surrounding regions.
The Faculty of Science and Technology of the University of Macau has long been committed to serving social well-being and local development through scientific research, actively promoting research practices with Macao’s unique characteristics. Represented by Prof. Wang, many researchers have actively engaged in the social transformation of scientific research results through interdisciplinary collaboration and social practice, applying academic research to public service and social innovation, thus putting into practice the concept of “serving society through research” and promoting technology for good and sustainable social development.
Prof. Wang’s team has long focused on research in usable security and digital safety, and has achieved multiple internationally leading research outcomes. The team has published papers with the University of Macau as the first affiliation at the four most prestigious international conferences in information security — IEEE S&P, NDSS, ACM CCS, and USENIX Security — setting a precedent for Macau and marking an important breakthrough in the university’s research in this field.
澳門大學科技學院電腦與資訊科學系助理教授王也教授率領的研究團隊，近日應澳門社會工作局邀請，開展了以「博彩信息安全與賭博失調防治」為主題的成果分享與學術交流活動。此次活動旨在促進學術研究與公共服務實踐的結合，推動本澳負責任博彩及戒賭服務工作的持續優化。
在分享會上，王也教授介紹了團隊在負責任博彩信息設計、數字安全幹預與智能化輔導平臺建設等方面的最新研究成果，並提出了具體的優化建議，涵蓋如何提升負責任博彩信息的可用性與傳播效果，以及如何協助戒賭熱線輔導員改進服務流程與介入策略。該研究由電腦與資訊科學系三年級博士生黃莊桐及關泳琪擔任主要研究負責人。
相關研究內容獲得了社會工作局與會人員的高度關注與積極回應。雙方就進一步推進澳門地區24小時賭博輔導熱線的數字化與智能化轉型進行了深入探討，並計劃合作建設面向澳門及周邊地區的智能化“24小時賭博輔導熱線”服務平臺。
澳門大學科技學院長期致力於以科研成果服務社會福祉與本地發展，積極推動具有澳門特色的研究實踐。以王也教授為代表的研究人員，通過跨學科合作與社會實踐，廣泛參與科研成果的社會轉化，將學術研究應用於公共服務與社會創新，踐行“以科研服務社會”的理念，推動科技向善與社會可持續發展。
王也教授團隊長期專注於可用安全性與數字安全領域的研究，並取得多項國際領先成果。團隊已以澳門大學為第一單位，在國際公認的信息安全四大頂級會議（IEEE S&P、NDSS、ACM CCS、USENIX Security）上發表論文，創下本澳首例，標志著澳門大學在該領域研究上的重要突破。
