Cheuk Ming Mak is a professor at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, specialising in acoustics and building environments. He obtained his bachelor’s degree and PhD from the University of Liverpool and earned a diploma in Acoustics and Noise Control from the Institute of Acoustics (UK) after receiving his undergraduate degree. He has been conducting research on noise and vibration from ventilation systems and their effects on people for more than 30 years.

Kuen Wai Ma is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. He obtained his PhD degree in psychoacoustics from the University of Hong Kong in 2020 after earning a BSc degree in physics from the Chinese University of Hong Kong. His doctoral and postdoctoral research focused on the characterisation, statistical modelling and prediction of human perceptual responses to different types of indoor and outdoor environments.
