Personal Information

Mark Ackerman is an associate professor in the School of Information and an associate professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Previously, he was an associate professor at the University of California at Irvine.

In 2000-01, while on leave from Irvine, he was principal research scientist of Project Oxygen in the Laboratory for Computer Science at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

The focus of his work is on the interplay of the social world with our software systems. He's interested in the two phases of this: how we can incorporate elements of the social world within software systems (such as with computer-supported cooperative work systems), and how systems affect our society and lives in return. This requires a dual emphasis on both the technology and the social structures of its use.
