He is selected for the 2017 Class of Fellows of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics ( photo , news and HKBU news ). He obtained his B.Sc. degree in 1990 and M.Phil. degree in 1992 at the University of Hong Kong, and Ph.D. degree in 1995 at Chinese University of Hong Kong. He was a Research Fellow of Computer Sciences Laboratory at Australian National University (1995-1997), and an Assistant/Associate Professor (1997-2005) of the University of Hong Kong before joining Hong Kong Baptist University. Michael is the Programme Director of the MSc Programme on Operational Research and Business Statistics and Director of the Centre for Mathematical Imaging and Vision (CMIV). He has been Associate Director of the Institute for Computational and Theoretical Studies (ICTS), and Executive Director of the Institute for Computational Mathematics (ICM) at Hong Kong Baptist University. Now he is an Adjunct Professor of Harbin Institute of Technology and of South China Normal University, an Honorary Professor of the University of Hong Kong (2005-2014), an Adjunct Research Fellow of the E-Business Technology Institute (2000-2011), He was the Public Relations Secretary (1998-2000, 2002-2006) and the Publications Secretary (2000-2002) of the Hong Kong Mathematical Society, and the Secretary of the East Asia SIAM Section (2005-2008). He is the Council Member (since 2008) of Hong Kong Institute of Science, and the Board Member (2007-2011) of China Society for Computational Mathematics. He is the Committee Member (since 2010) of System Biology Group in China Operational Research Society. He is an IEEE Senior Member. He is also the Engineering Panel Member of the Hong Kong Research Grants Council in the GRF Panel (2009-2015) and in Joint Research Schemes Panel (2016-). His research Google citations and ISI indices can be found in Google Scholar, Thomson Reuters, and Scopus. At 2017, Michael obtained Feng Kang Prize for his significant contributions in numerical linear algebra for solving structured linear systems, mathematical and computational methods in image processing ( photo , Ming Pao News , Sing Tao News , Oversea News 1, Overseas News 2, NA Digest News, CAM Digest News, presentation slides) At 2014, Michael obtained Hong Kong Baptist University President's Awards for Outstanding Performance in Scholarly Work and here is the related HKBU news . Michael won the Honourable Mention of Householder Award IX , in 1996 at Switzerland, an excellent young researcher's presentation at Nanjing International Conference on Optimization and Numerical Algebra, 1999, and the Outstanding Young Researcher Award of the University of Hong Kong , 2001. Michael and his collaborators (Tony Hu, F. Wu and B. Sokhansan) won the outstanding research paper on Artificial Intelligence ""Mining and Dynamic Simulation of Sub-Networks from Large Biomolecular Networks"" in the 2007 World Congress in Computer Science, Computer Engineering and Applied Computing. He is the first one in the Mathematics Departments of Hong Kong to be the Principal Investigator of an Innovation and Technology Funding Project (Tier 2) at 2003, and to be the Director of Croucher Foundation Advanced Study Institute at 2008. In 2010 and 2011, he obtains support from the Innovation and Technology Funding to work with Ma Belle Jewellery Company for a research project Sales Knowledge Acquisition and Customer Behavior Analysis Platform For Jewelry Retail Industry (about 1.3M) and to work a research project Heterogeneous Information Fusion Toolkit for Customer Behavior Acquisition and Modeling in Middle to High End Retail Industry (about 1M). Related information has been used in the video of the Faculty of Science. Another ITF project for Deep Learning-Based Trading System is developed. He also receives a US patent for a new and useful invention: Method and Device for Use in Converting a Colour Image into a Grayscale Image (US 8,355,566). His research in image stitching has been posted in SIAM Nuggets (October 2013): Seamless photography: using mathematical models for image stitching."
