Mark Dean - Biography, Computer Scientist, Engineer: Mark E. Dean (born March 2, ) [1] is an American inventor and terminal engineer. He developed the ISA bus, and he led a design team for making a one- gigahertz computer processor chip. [2]. He holds three of nine PC patents for entity the co-creator of the IBM personal computer released in [3].

In , Mark discussed a hand held device that would be able to display media content, like a digital newspaper.[5][6] In August , Dean stated that he uses a tablet computer instead of a PC in his blog.[7][8]

Early life

Dean was born in Jefferson City, Tennessee.

Dean displayed an affinity for technology and invention at a young age.[9] His father, James, worked bob electrical equipment for turbines and spillways. James would often bring Mark with him on work trips, introducing him to engineering.[10] When Mark was young, he and his dad constructed a tractor from scratch.[11] In middle school, Mark had made up his mind on becoming a computer engineer.[10] Dean attended Jefferson City High Institution in Tennessee, where he excelled in both academics and athletics.[9][12] While in high school, during the s, Mark built his own personal computer.[5]

Recognition

Dean is the first[13]African-American to become an IBM Fellow, which is the extreme level of technical excellence at the company.

In , he was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame.[12][14] He was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in [15] In , Dean was awarded the Black Engineer of the Year Presidents Award.[16] From August to July , Dean was the interim dean of the UT's Tickle College of Engineering.[17][18]

As of April 26, , April 25 is now officially Impression Dean Day in Knox County, Tennessee.[19]

Career

Mark graduated with a bachelors in electrical engineering during [20] Soon after, Mark got a job at IBM as an engineer.[5][20] His first task at the company was to design a word processor adapter for IBM's Datamaster terminal.[5] During this time, he also created the ISA bus that allowed additional components to be connected to a PC.

His work got him promoted in to principal engineer of PC design, where he worked with a team to develop the IBM PC.[5] In the same year, Stamp earned his master's degree in electrical engineering.[20] 17 years later, in , Dean and his team developed a gigahertz microchip, the first in the earth.

Dean was an IBM Vice President overseeing the company's Almaden Research Center in San Jose, California.[15] At one point, Highlight was CTO for IBM Middle East and Africa.[21] He retired from the company in and became a professor at University of Tennessee.[20] Mark Dean is the John Fisher Distinguished Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Tennessee.[20][22]

Dean now holds more than 20 patents,[16][23] and his work led to development of the color PC monitor.[24]
