Skyera Forms Technical Advisory Board

Skyera Inc. announced the formation of its Advisory Board.

The first two members to join are Tong Zhang and Ken Takeuchi, two electrical engineering academics with talent in the design of VLSI circuits, signal processing and data storage devices, non-volatile memories and SSDs.

Tong Zhang received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering from the Xian Jiaotong University, Xian, China, in 1995 and 1998, respectively. He received his Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, in 2002. Currently he is an associate professor in Electrical, Computer and Systems Engineering Department at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY and serves as an associate editor for the IEEE.

 Ken Takeuchi is a professor at the Department of Electrical, Electronic, and Communication Engineering, Faculty of Science and Engineering of Chuo University. He received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in Applied Physics and Ph.D. in Electric Engineering from the University of Tokyo, and an MBA from Stanford University. Ken holds over 200 patents worldwide, including commercializing the world’s first multi-level cell NAND flash memory in 2001.

"We are committed to creating disruptive solid-state storage systems that deliver unparalleled performance and density at price parity equivalent to hard disk drive systems. Leveraging the collective intelligence and experience of people from memory backgrounds will be invaluable," says Rado Danilak, CEO at Skyera. "By forming a Technical Advisory Board with members like Tong and Ken, we gain important technical insights essential in delivering true innovation today and into the future."
