In 1979, Mark Ackerman graduated with B.A. in History in the Social Sciences from the University of Chicago. He completes his master's degree in Computer and Information Science, at Ohio State University, in the year 1981. Before Mark finishes his doctorate, he put himself in the computer industry, involved in many projects such as X Window System and Project Athena as a Senior Software Engineer at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He obtained a Ph.D. from Massachusetts Insititute of Technology on Information Technologies in 1994. He starts his service as an Assistant Professor in 1992 at University of California, Irvine, in the Department of Information and Computer Science. In the year of 2000, he became a Research Scientist at Massachusettes Institute of Technology. From 2001 to 2009, he was once again an Associate Professor at University of Michigan, School of information and Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. He became a Full professor with tenure in the year of 2009 and became GH Mead Collegiate Professor of Human-Computer Interaction in 2012.[2]
Work[edit]
Before Mark Ackerman became an academic, he had already made some few outstanding achievements in the industry of Computer Science. Besides X Window System and Project Athena, He also involved in a project Called Ten Point Systems, as Chief Engineer, with R. R. Donnelley & Sons to design an educational cartographic product for the Macintosh. He also works as Engineering Manager, Managed five software projects for a new Atari game console.[3]
During his career, he had published many articles such as "Beyond Boundary Objects: Collaborative Reuse in Aircraft Technical Support" on Computer Supported Cooperative Work: The Journal of Collaborative Computing and “Simplifying User-Controlled Privacy Policies.” on Works-in-Progress paper, IEEE Pervasive Computing[7].To be noted that, these are just a few examples of his work, does not cover his research areas. Until 2016, he has published a total of 23 journal articles, 82 refereed conference articles, 31 conference and workshop papers, 3 Articles in general magazines and newspapers, co-author of 13 books and in a total of 37 publications in other categories. The range of topic of his published work includes computer science, social science, and cognitive science.[4]
He is actively involved in the industry of HCI during both his academic time and time being an industry professional. He was an associate editor for Computer-Supported Work Journal, ACM Transactions on Internet Technology(2000-2006) and International Journal of Human-Computer Studies(2006-2007). He was Conference co-chair for ACM User Interface Software and Technology conference and HCI Consortium Workshop. He also is a Co-organizer for the workshop on Domestic Collaborative System and more.[5]
