Hong Lireceived the M.Sc. degree in mathematics and the Ph.D. degree in pattern recognition and intelligence control from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China, in 1986 and 1999, respectively. She is currently a Professor with the School of Mathematics and Statistics, Huazhong University of Science and Technology. Her research interests include approximation theory, wavelet analysis, learning theory, neural networks, signal processing, and pattern recognition. She has published over 50 IEEE Transactions papers.

Tao Qianreceived the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees, both in harmonic analysis, from Peking University, Beijing, China, in 1981 and 1984, respectively. From 1984 to 1986, he worked in Institute of Systems Science, the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Then he worked as Research Associate and Research Fellow in Australia till 1992 (Macquarie University, Flinders University of South Australia), and as a faculty teaching member at New England University, Australia, from 1992 to 2000. He started working at University of Macau, Macao, China SAR, from 2000 as Associate Professor. He continued his job in University of Macau as Full Professorship in 2003, and was Head of Department of Mathematics from 2005 to 2011. He was appointed as Distinguished Professor at University of Macau in April, 2013. In 2019, he worked as Professor at Macau University of Science and Technology and Emeritus Professor at University of Macau. His research interests include harmonic analysis in Euclidean spaces, complex and Clifford analysis and signal and image analysis. He has published over 200 journal and conference papers and two monograph books.
