Author: James R. Lewis
Began college studies as music major. Graduated 1975 with BM in music theory and composition, 1978 with MM in music composition. Switched to experimental psychology, graduating with BA in 1978 and MA (engineering psychology) in 1982 (all degrees from New Mexico State University). Began work at IBM in 1981 as human factors engineer, primary focus on input methods (keyboards, mice, touchscreens, joysticks). Started work on speech input/output in early 1990s. Graduated with PhD in experimental psychology (psycholinguistics) in 1996 (from Florida Atlantic University). In addition to scholarly publications, has over 50 patents issued by the US Patent Office -- designated an IBM Master Inventor in 2003.
