Raymond Chan is a Choh-Ming Li Chair Professor and the Chairman of the Department of Mathematics at The Chinese University of Hong Kong where he obtained his B.Sc. degree (First Class Honors) in 1980. Uncertain of what to do next, he stayed in the Department as a full-time Instructor after graduation. He started his graduate study in 1981 with a full fellowship from the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University. He obtained his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Applied Mathematics there in 1984 and 1985 respectively under the supervision of Professor Olof Widlund.
Chan began his career as a tenure-track Assistant Professor at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst in 1985. With heart and mind always in Hong Kong, he came back to Hong Kong in 1986, first at The University of Hong Kong (1986-92) and then at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (1993) before joining his Alma Mater in 1993.
Chan has published 110 journal papers and has been in the ISI Science Citation List of Top 250 Highly-Cited Mathematicians in the world since 2004. He won a Leslie Fox Prize for Numerical Analysis in 1989 at Cambridge in the United Kingdom; a Feng Kang Prize in 1997 in Beijing, China; a Morningside Award in 1998 in Beijing, China; and 2011 Higher Education Outstanding Scientific Research Output Awards (First Prize) from the Ministry of Education in China. He was elected SIAM fellow in 2013.
Chan has served on the editorial boards of many journals, including: Asian Journal of Mathematics (co-Chief Editor since 1997), Advances in Computational Mathematics (since 2010), Journal of Scientific Computing (since 2013), Numerical Linear Algebra with Applications (since 2004), SIAM Journal on Imaging Sciences (since 2007), and SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (served from 2000 to 2008). He also presented over 130 invited conference talks in more than 20 countries and reviewed papers for more than 90 different journals.
His wonderful group of graduate students includes: Xiaoqing Jin, the Head of Department of Mathematics at University of Macau; Michael Ng, who won an Honorable Mention in the Householder Prize Competition in 1996; Wai-Ki Ching, a prize winner of the 1998 Copper Mountain Conference Student Paper Competition and Deputy Chairman of Department of Mathematics at University of Hong Kong; Chiu-Kwong Wong, a Sloan Dissertation Year Fellow in 1998; Hao-Min Zhou, who won an Honorable Mention in the Householder Prize Competition in 2002 and is an NSF CAREER awardee in 2007; and Zheng-Jian Bai, the Applied Numerical Algebra Prize Winner in 2008.
