Bill Verplank

William (Bill) Verplank is a designer and researcher who focuses on interactions between humans and computers. He is currently a visiting scholar at Stanford University's CCRMA and is involved in Stanford's design school as well. He received a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering and product design from Stanford, then went on to MIT to complete a PhD in man-machine systems.

He worked at Xerox from 1978-1986 refining the design of the original graphical user interface and mouse, in the Xerox Star. He went on to work at IDEO from 1986-1992 bringing graphical user interfaces to the world of product design. From 1992-2000 at Interval Research, he directed the design and research for collaboration, tangibility and music. Since then, he has worked at Stanford's CCRMA as a part-time lecturer teaching courses in interaction design and input devices.
