Dr. Damien Coyle received a first class degree in computing and electronic engineering in 2002 and a doctorate in Intelligent Systems Engineering in 2006 from the University of Ulster. He is currently a Lecturer at the School of Computing and Intelligent Systems and a member of the Intelligent Systems Research Centre at the University of Ulster. His research interests include biosignal processing, bio-inspired cognitive and adaptive systems and brain-computer interface technology. He is a member of the IET and the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences. He is also a member of the executive committee of the IEEE Engineering and Biology Society (UK&RI Chapter), Vice Chair of the IEEE CIS GOLD (graduates of the last decade) subcommittee, inaugural chair of the IEEE CIS Brain-Computer Interface Task Force (BCITF) and a member of IEEE CIS Awards committee. He is a review editor for the IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems, IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, the Artificial Intelligence Review, and the IET Signal Processing Magazine and the EPSRC. His is associate editor of the International Journal on Biomedical Signal Processing. Dr. Coyle is the 2008 recipient of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award. |

Dr. Ke Chen is a member of the academic staff of the School of Computer Science at The University of Manchester. He does research and teaching in computer science and computational cognitive systems. His main research interests lie in pattern recognition, machine learning and machine perception. He has been in the current post since 2003. He was with The University of Birmingham, Peking University, The Ohio State University, Kyushu Instititue of Technology and Tsinghua University. He was also a visiting researcher at Microsoft Research Asia and a visiting professor at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University during 2000-2001. He has served on several editorial boards of academic publications, e.g., an associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and the category editor of Pattern Recognition of Scholarpedia. He was the technical program chair of the first International Conference on Natural Computation (2005) and has served as a member of technical program committees for numerous international conferences, e.g. IJCNN (2003 and 2007) and CogSci (2006-2008). He is now the chair of Intelligent Systems Applications Technical Committee (ISATC) and a member of Neural Networks Technical Committee (NNTC) and Data Mining Technical Committee (DMTC), IEEE Computational Intelligence Society (IEEE CIS). He was the chair of task force on Audio and Speech Processing of NNTC (2004-2007) and task force on Biometrics and Multimedia of ETTC (2005 and 2006), IEEE CIS. He was a recipient of several academic awards including NSFC Distinguished Principal Young Investigator Award (2001) and JSPS Research Award (1993) and an invited keynote speaker in ICONIP (2001). |
