Dr. Dryer is a research staff member in the Ease of Use department, where he leads the Almaden Social Computing Project. Before coming to IBM, he served as a consultant to social interface projects at Microsoft Corporation and Disney Enterprises, Inc. In 1995, he joined IBM Personal System Products in Boca Raton, Florida, as a Development Staff Member, working on advanced human-computer interaction technology. In 1996, as an advisory programmer in Austin, Texas, Dr. Dryer served as lead user interface architect on the OS/2 (Operating System/2) Assistance Center. Since 1997, he has led research projects on software agents, social computing, and affective computing for IBM Research. He received a B.A. degree in psychology and communication from the University of Pennsylvania, a Ph.D. degree in psychology from Stanford University, and post-doctoral certificates from the Stanford University School of Medicine and the Center for the Study of Language and Information.
Chris Eisbach

Mr. Eisbach is a research associate in the User Systems Ergonomic Systems group, which is part of the Computer Science department of the IBM Almaden Research Center. He is working on new human/machine interface devices and paradigms. He received a B.S. degree in mechanical engineering and a B.A. degree in fine arts from Rice University, and an M.S.E. degree in product design from Stanford University.
Wendy S. Ark
IBM Research Division, Almaden Research Center, 650 Harry Road, San Jose, California 95120 (electronic mail: wsark@almaden.ibm.com).
Ms. Ark is a staff engineer in the Ease of Use department. Since joining IBM in mid-1997, she has led projects in the areas of information visualization, biosensing, and women and computing. In addition to these projects, she has been looking at IBM TrackPoint pointing devices and IBM ThinkPad computer issues (algorithms, efficiency, performance, etc.). Her primary interests are affective computing, pervasive computing, socially oriented computing, and smart computing. Before coming to IBM, she spent a year at the University of Hawaii with a National Science Foundation grant, trying to answer the questions "How do people count?" and "How do people debug code?" using eyetracking methodology. She also worked at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Langley Research Center, simulating stratospheric readings based on mathematical computations for satellite missions and the International Space Station. Ms. Ark received her B.S. degree in computer science from the University of Delaware, with a concentration in mathematics, in 1997.
