Ian John Wakeman (born 30/1/65) Graduated from the Electrical and Information Sciences Tripos of Cambridge University with first class honours in 1987 and from Stanford University with a Master of Science in 1988. He work at the GEC Hirst Research Centre from 1988 to 1990 on implementation of an FDDI based distributed processing system for a digital telephone exchange, and on next generation LANs and transport protocols for high speed networks. From 1991, he has worked as a research fellow of the Computer Science Department of University College London, on multimedia distributed systems, and in particular on the distribution of compressed video over wide area networks. He is currently working part-time on a phd provisionally entitled "Congestion Control for Multimedia Traffic".
