I am a member of the Information Visualization department at AT&T Labs -- Research, working on network analysis, graph drawing, machine learning and general numerical algorithms.

From 2001 to 2007, I worked at Wolfram Research, developing numerical and graph theoritical software. Prior to April 2001, I worked in the Computational Science and Engineering Department at Daresbury Laboratory, conducting research in algorithms for high performance computing. For further chronological details, see here.
