Michael Ng is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the Hong Kong Baptist University. 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 was the Public Relations Secretary (1998-2000, 2002-2006) and the Publications Secretary (2000-2002) of the Hong Kong Mathematical Society. He is now the Programme Director of the MSc Programme on Operational Research and Business Statistics and Director of the Centre for Mathematical Imaging and Vision (CMIV), Executive Director of the Institute for Computational Mathematics (ICM) at Hong Kong Baptist University, an Adjunct Professor of Harbin Institute of Technology, an Honorary Professor of the University of Hong Kong (2005-2008), an Adjunct Research Fellow of the E-Business Technology Institute (2000-2008), and the Secretary of the East Asia SIAM Section (2005-2008). He is the board member (2007-2011) of China Society for Computational Mathematics.
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 supervised more than 20 graduate students. His master student, Eric Fung, won the Outstanding Research Postgraduate Student Award in 2004 at the University of Hong Kong. His Phd student, Huang Yumei, won the second prize of the Third EASIAM Student Paper Competition, 2007, and the Winner of the Best Student Paper Award of the International Conference on Applied Mathematics: Modeling, Analysis and Computation, 2008.
As an applied mathematician, Michael's main research areas include Bioinformatics, Data Mining, Operations Research and Scientific Computing. Michael has published and edited 5 books, published more than 160 journal papers. He has reviewed papers for more than 40 international journals. He currently serves on the editorial boards of
and was guest editors of several special issues of the international journals (Journal of Computational Mathematics, International Journal of Applied Mathematics, Applied Mathematics and Computation, EURASIP Journal on Applied Signal Processing, International Journal of Imaging Systems and Technology).
Michael also provided consultancy services to local community: CLP Power, PCCW, HK Government Environmental Protection Department, M-finance and ExchangeRepublic.com, and LOGISTICS, HK Productivity Council Publications. He obtained and finished an Innovation and Technology Fund Project (HK$7M), Intelligent Classification Technologies for Email Data in Chinese and Mixed Languages (2003-2004).
"The bringing together of theory and practice leads to the most favourable results; not only does practice benefit, but the sciences themselves develop under the influence of practice, which reveals new subjects of investigation and new aspects of familiar subjects." P.L. Chebyshev
