Robert Carderbank
ROBERT CARDERBANK is Dean of Natural Sciences at Duke University. He was previously Professor of Electrical Engineering and Mathematics
at Princeton University where he directed the Program in Applied and Computational Mathematics. Prior to joining Princeton in 2004, he was Vice
President for Research at AT&T, responsible for directing the first industrial research lab in the world where the primary focus is data at scale.
At the start of his career at Bell Labs, innovations by Dr. Calderbank were incorporated in a progression of voiceband modem standards that moved communications practice close to the Shannon limit. Together with Peter Shor and colleagues at AT&T Labs he showed that good quantum error correcting codes exist and developed the group theoretic framework for quantum error correction. He is a co- inventor of space-time codes for wireless communication, where correlation of signals across different transmit antennas is the key to reliable transmission.
