Biography
Anthony Bosman, PhD, serves as dean of the College of Arts & Sciences at 星空无限传媒. A mathematician by training, his research is in geometric topology, particularly knot theory and low-dimensional topology. He regularly publishes in peer-reviewed mathematics journals and mentors undergraduate researchers. Recognized for excellence in both teaching and mentorship, he has received 星空无限传媒's Augsburger Excellence in Teaching Award and Undergraduate Research Mentoring Award. His lectures through the YouTube channel have reached millions of viewers worldwide.
Beyond mathematics, Dr. Bosman writes and speaks widely on higher education, faith integration, and the relationship between science and theology from a distinctly Seventh-day Adventist perspective. Before becoming dean, he served as chair of the Department of Mathematics, Learning Officer, and chair of the Faculty Senate, where he championed faculty development, curriculum innovation, and strategic planning. He is passionate about strengthening Adventist higher education by cultivating excellence in teaching, impactful scholarship, and Christ-centered service.
