Naoki Tanaka, PhD

About Me

I am a senior software engineer in the Linux Engineering group at Oracle America, Inc.

I received a PhD degree in Computer Science from the Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2014. My advisor was Professor Marianne Winslett.

I received Master of Information Science and Technology and Bachelor of Engineering in Information and Computer Sciences with Kusumoto Award for the top student from Osaka University.

Before joining UIUC in 2009, I worked at Astellas Pharma Inc. as a cheminformatics researcher and a corporate IT staff.
