After receiving his Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin, Kent Wittenburg worked at the Microcoelectronics and Computer Technology Corporation (MCC), Bellcore, and Verizon/GTE laboratories before joining MERL. His research has encompassed a variety  of  Human-Computer Interaction technologies including rapid serial visual presentation, multidimensional information visualization, visual languages for diagrams, and natural language. He managed groups in natural language interfaces and internet technologies prior to joining MERL as group manager of speech and HCI. Kent become director of MERL's Cambridge Systems Lab in 2002 and then director of MERL's Technology Lab at its inception in 2003.
