Charles K. Chui, Ph.D. Wisconsin-Madison, is Research Professor of Mathematics in Hong Kong Baptist University, while holding a courtesy appointment as Consulting Professor in the Statistics Department of Stanford University. He is also Curators’ Professor Emeritus of the University of Missouri and Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Texas A&M University, where he had joint appointments in four departments of two colleges, namely: Department of Mathematics and Department of Statistics (of the College of Science) and Department of Electrical Engineering and Department of Computer Science (of College of Engineering). As a leading expert and authority in two mathematical disciplines: Approximation Theory and Computational Harmonic Analysis, Charles is co-Founder with the late Chinese National Academician, Professor Cheng Mende of Peking University, of the “Journal of Approximation Theory and Applications” (now called “Analysis in Theory and Applications”) and is Founder and co-Editor-in-Chief with two U.S. National Academicians, Professor Ronald Coifman (of Yale University) and Professor David Donoho (of Stanford University) of the journal, “Applied and Computational Harmonic Analysis” (ACHA, the flagship journal of the field). In addition, Charles was (or continues to be) editor of 9 other mathematics journals, and was Editor-in-Chief of 3 book series (published by Academic Press, World Scientific, and Elsevier, respectively). He is currently Founding Editor-in-Chief of two book series, “Advances in Mathematical and Engineering Sciences” and “Mathematics Text Books for Sciences and Engineering”, co-published by Atlantis Press and Springer.
