Amanda (Mandy) Chessell is a computer scientist and a Distinguished Engineer at IBM.[1] She has been awarded the title of IBM Master Inventor. She is also a Member of the IBM Academy of Technology.

Outside IBM, Chessell is the first woman to be awarded the Royal Academy of Engineering Silver Medal and has subsequently been elected as a Fellow of the Royal Academy, a very high honour in engineering.

Chessell is a visiting professor at the University of Sheffield.[2]

Career at IBM

Mandy Chessell joined IBM in 1987.[3] She is based at IBM's Hursley laboratory [4] location near Winchester in Hampshire, UK.

Her early work focused on distributed transaction processing, adding features to products such as CICS, Encina, Component Broker and WebSphere Application Server. She has also work on event management, business process modelling and outside-in design (OID).

Today, Chessell's work is focused on developing model-driven tools to simplify the analysis and design of large systems and then to automate their development. This work covers the development of user interfaces, services, information integration technology in the field of Data Governance and Master Data Management.

Achievements

In 2000, she was among the first group of MIT Technology Review magazine's TR100.

In 2001, she won the Royal Academy of Engineering Silver Medal for the invention and engineering of Reusable Software Component Architecture.[5]

In 2002, she was elected a Fellow of The Royal Academy of Engineering.[6]

In 2004, Chessell won the British Computer Society nomination for the Women's Engineering Society "Karen Burt" award.[7]

In 2006, Chessell won a Female Inventor of the Year Award for building capacity for innovation.[8]

Also in 2006, Chessell was awarded a prize for the Best Woman in the Corporate Sector at the Blackberry Women in Technology awards.[9]

In 2011, Chessell was made an honorary fellow of the Institution of Engineering Designers (IED).[10]

In 2012, Chessell received Innovator of the Year at the Cisco everywoman in Technology Awards.[11]

Chessell frequently lectures on topics related to Computer Science and, in particular, innovation. Such lectures take place at universities such as Queen Mary University of London.[12]

Education

Chessell studied Computer Science from an early age and has both an O-Level and an A-Level in the subject. She studied at Plymouth Polytechnic up to 1987[13] and obtained a Bachelors Honours Degree in Computing with Informatics.[14]

Subsequently, Chessell joined IBM in 1987 at Hursley Park, Winchester where she studied for a Masters degree in software engineering at the University of Brighton (completed in 1997). Her studies at Brighton were sponsored by IBM.[14]
