Man-Wai Mak received a BEng(Hons) degree in Electronic Engineering from Newcastle Upon Tyne Polytechnic in 1989 and a PhD degree in Electronic Engineering from the University of Northumbria at Newcastle in 1993. He joined the Department of Electronic and Information Engineering at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University in 1993. Dr. Mak has taught courses in speech processing, neural computation, software engineering, and distributed systems, and he has been the advisor of four MPhil and two PhD graduates. He has authored more than 100 technical articles in speaker recognition, machine learning, and bioinformatics, and served as a guest editor of international journals. Dr. Mak is also a co-author of the postgraduate textbook “Biometric Authentication: A Machine Learning Approach, Prentice Hall, 2005.” Dr. Mak also has experience in software design and implementation, and he has provided consultancy services to companies in Hong Kong. Dr. Mak received seven research grants from the RGC of Hong Kong over the last eight years, and received a Faculty of Engineering Research Grant Achievement Award in 2003.  Since 1995, Dr. Mak has been an Executive Committee member of the IEEE Hong Kong Section Computer Chapter. He was the Chairman of the IEEE Hong Kong Section Computer Chapter in 2003-2005. He also served as a member of the IEEE Machine Learning for Signal Processing Technical Committee in 2005-2007 and a member of Technical Committee Member, IEEE Computation Intelligence Society, Intelligent Systems Applications in 2008. Dr. Mak has served as a Program Committee member of a number of international conferences, including MLSP'06, MLSP'07, MLSP'08, BIBE'07, PCM'07 (Track Co-Chair), ICMLC'07, ICMLC'08, etc. Dr. Mak's research interests include speaker recognition, machine learning, and bioinformatics.
