Eugene Wong (born December 24, 1934, in Nanking, China) is a Chinese-American computer scientist and mathematician. Wong's career has spanned academia, university administration, government and the private sector. Together with Michael Stonebraker and a group of scientists at IBM, Wong is credited with pioneering database research in the 1970s from which software developed by IBM, Microsoft, and Oracle descends.[2]
Wong retired in 1994, since then holding the title of Professor Emeritus of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at University of California, Berkeley.[3]
The IEEE, as part of an award citation, wrote that Wong "is known for the extraordinary breadth of his accomplishments"[4] and "for leadership in national and international engineering research and technology policy, for pioneering contributions in relational databases."[5]
