Eiko Yoneki

I am an EPSRC Research Fellow in the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory Systems Research Group. I received my Ph.D. degree from the University of Cambridge in December, 2006 (ECCO: Data Centric Asynchronous Communication) and a Postgraduate Diploma in Computer Science from the University of Cambridge in 2002. Previously, I have spent several years with IBM (US, Japan, Italy and UK) working on various networking products .
