IBM Fellow
An IBM Fellow is an appointed position at IBM made by IBM’s CEO. Typically only four to nine (eleven in 2014) IBM Fellows are appointed each year, in May or June. It is the highest honor a scientist, engineer, or programmer at IBM can achieve.
Overview
The IBM Fellows program was founded in 1962 by Thomas Watson Jr., as a way to promote creativity among the company’s “most exceptional” technical professionals. The first appointments were made in 1963. The criteria for appointment are stringent and take into account only the most-significant technical achievements. In addition to a history of extraordinary accomplishments, candidates must also be considered to have the potential to make continued contributions. Francis E. Hamilton is believed to be the first IBM Fellow, appointed in 1963 for amongst other things his work on the development of the IBM 650.[1][2]
IBM Fellows are given broad latitude to identify and pursue projects in their area of expertise.
As of 2016, only 277 IBMers have earned the IBM Fellow distinction, and 98 of them remain active IBM employees. IBM Fellows have generated 9,307 patents, received five Nobel prizes, thousands of government and professional citations and have a massive store of published research in scientific journals.[3]
