Projects are supported by the Research and Technology Development, Director Research and Development Fund and the Strategic University Research Partnerships programs.

Authors will be present from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on a staggered schedule to discuss their work. At noon Caltech President Jean-Lou Chameau and JPL Director Charles Elachi will provide opening remarks for the conference.

The JPL Research and Technology Development, Director Research and Development Fund and the Strategic University Research Partnerships programs are internal investment programs that are administered by the Office of the Chief Scientist and Chief Technologist. The programs’ primary purpose is to enhance JPL’s ability to address the objectives of future JPL and NASA missions. The programs fund proposals in the areas of basic research, applied research, development, systems and concept formulation studies. The poster conference is an excellent opportunity for employees to explore the exciting research funded by these programs.
