Before joining the MIT faculty he worked at IBM for over a decade, created the User System Ergonomic Laboratory, and was named an IBM Fellow. During that time he also served on the faculty of Stanford University. He is recognized for the design of the “TrackPoint® III” in-keyboard pointing device, for creating the “COACH” adaptive agent that improves user performance (Warp Guides in OS/2), and for the design of the ThinkPad® 755CV notebook computer that doubles as a liquid crystal display projector. Dr. Selker obtained his B.S. degree from Brown University, his M.S. degree from the University of Massachusetts, and his Ph.D. degrees from the City University of New York in computer science and information sciences and applied mathematics. Prior to joining IBM Research in 1985, he worked at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center, Atari Research Labs, and Stanford University, and was also a Stanford consulting professor.
