Mark E. Dean (born March 2, 1957) is an inventor and a computer engineer. He led the team that developed the ISA bus, and he led the design team responsible for creating the first[citation needed] one-gigahertz computer processor chip.[1] He holds three of IBM's original nine PC patents. In August 2011, writing in his blog, Dean stated that he now uses a tablet computer instead of a PC. [2][3]

Background

Born in Jefferson City, Tennessee, Dean holds a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the University of Tennessee, a master's degree in electrical engineering from Florida Atlantic University and a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Stanford University.[4] Dean is the first[5] African-American to become an IBM Fellow which is the highest level of technical excellence at the company. In 1997, he was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame.[4]

Currently, he is CTO for IBM Middle East and Africa,[6] previously, being an IBM Vice President overseeing the company's Almaden Research Center in San Jose, California.[citation needed] Dean now holds more than 20 patents.[original research?] Dean led a team that developed the interior architecture (ISA systems bus) that enables multiple devices, such as modems and printers, to be connected to personal computers. Dean also led the design team responsible for creating the first 1-gigahertz RISC processor chip, another significant step in making computers faster and smaller.[7]
