people in the field and allow students to broaden their horizons by learning something outside their research areas. ATP Lab students work hard, but it doesn't mean we don't have fun. For example, every fortnight we gather for pizza and a lively discussion. We call it " Pizza Talk. " The event is organized by students for students. These are informal meetings to discuss interesting and relevant topics related to our research. It is a great opportunity for all the students from different research groups to get together, discuss, and share their work. Everyone at NICTA is very friendly and willing to help. Students get to work along side other senior researchers who inspire and motivate us to do our best. The open working space design makes it very easy to collaborate and share ideas. NICTA ATP lab has a very vibrant, diverse, and fun culture. We attract people from around the world, which makes working in our lab a very interesting and enriching experience. In parallel to doing great research, you learn about different cultures and customs. For example, at the beginning of every month we get together in the common area for tea and some sweets. " International Morning Tea " is when we taste sweets from different parts of the world. It is by far the most popular gathering. NICTA is all about growth, collectively as a lab and individually as a researcher. It is a great feeling to be part of a young, motivated organization that is determined to produce world-class research.
