1960

He was a post-doctoral student at the University of Cambridge until 1960 and from 1960 to 1962 a researcher at IBM's Thomas J. Watson Research Center.

1962

He joined the Berkeley faculty in 1962, where he later served as chair of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences.

His research interests are in stochastic systems and database management.

He has mentored 21 PhD students, including:

With the late Moshe Zakai, he originated a line of study in stochastic calculus now known as Wong-Zakai theory.

Wong was a co-designer of Ingres, one of the first modern database systems and co-author on a major text on stochastic processes.

1970

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.

1973

In 1973, Michael Stonebraker and his colleague Eugene Wong, having read Edgar F. Codd's work regarding the relational data model, began their own research into the topic.

1976

When "The Design and Implementation of Ingres" (Interactive graphics and retrieval system) was published in 1976, two other names, Peter Kreps and Gerald Held, were listed as authors.

As algorithms were defined and implemented, the list grew: "the Wong-Youssefi algorithm."

1990

From 1990 to 1993, Wong served as associate director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and from 1998 to 2000 he headed the Engineering Directorate of the National Science Foundation.

1994

Wong retired in 1994, since then holding the title of Professor Emeritus of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at University of California, Berkeley.

The IEEE, as part of an award citation, wrote that Wong "is known for the extraordinary breadth of his accomplishments" and "for leadership in national and international engineering research and technology policy, for pioneering contributions in relational databases."

2002

He chaired the Council of Advisors on Innovation and Technology in Hong Kong (2002–2004) and was a long-time international advisor on science and technology to the prime minister of Taiwan (2002–2011), where he led a major science policy study, Foresight Taiwan (2007–2010).

He was a co-founder of Ingres Corporation and a former president and CEO of Versata, Inc. Currently, he is a member of the board of directors of Hyster-Yale, Inc.
