Our colleagues are experts in data mining, algorithms, statistics, software systems, Internet engineering and measurement, web services and content distribution, video, software and systems. The interplay between these areas and visualization is the source of many great topics for investigation. Although we work in a communication service company, and thus have the opportuntiy to play with large-scale data sets that describe networks and services, we also work with public and proprietary data sets from networking, finance, retail operations and even epidemiology. Many important problems arise from data analysis and visualization in these domains.

The AT&T Infolab is supported by substantial computing resources. In 2007-8 we are deploying a 768-core multi-cluster computer interconnected with a 10G backbone. We also run a 32-CPU SGI Altix SMP with 256Gb of RAM, and have graphics servers for two Powerwalls (one 8-projector custom design, and a 4-projector Synelec powerwall with an external video processor), as well as other servers and clusters for general lab use.

In 2008 we are expanding work in our new Graphics/Video lab, and are deploying a 32-screen LCD powerwall.

The AT&T Shannon Laboratory in Florham Park has extensive technical facilities, including a research library, a video production studio, and caffeine-delivery equipment.

There are many research facilities located near the AT&T Shannon Laboratory with whom we interact. These include Bell Labs, Princeton University, Rutgers University, Columbia University, New York University, University of Pennsylvania, and Drexel University. We are members of the DIMACS consortium, which combines the discrete math and computer science talents of various New Jersey-based research organizations, and have industrial affiliate relationships with the Princeton and Stanford computer science departments.

We have an excellent summer postgraduate intern program. Qualified candidates are invited to apply - click here.
