Minas Gjoka

About me

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Networked Systems (joint ICS/EECS program) at the University of California, Irvine, supervised by Professor Athina Markopoulou.

I received the M.S. degree in Networked Systems from the University of California, Irvine in 2008 and the the B.S. degree in Computer Science from the Informatics Department of the Athens University of Economics and Business, Greece in 2005.

I expect to graduate in December 2010 and I am looking for a full-time position.
