2022 JPL Researchers on Campus (JROC) Reception

Tuesday, November 1, 2022

4 P.M. - 6 P.M.
Keck Center, California Institute of Technology

This reception is hosted by the Keck Institute for Space Studies.

 

This is a mixer designed to bring together Campus faculty and JPL researchers who are interested in collaborating on topics of mutual interest. The overarching goal of this program is enable faculty, students, postdocs, and other researchers to create a rich set of interactions with JPL researchers and ultimately to build a strong and diverse joint research program between JPL and Campus.

This program provides funding for JPL researchers to spend time on campus (in connection with a Caltech faculty host) and could include activities such as:

  • In-depth research discussions
  • Brainstorming new areas of collaboration
  • Development of joint JPL/Campus research proposals
  • Participation in regular small group seminars/meetings
  • Exchange of expertise between JPL and Campus including students and postdocs
  • Development of pedagogic resources not directly associated with a class

Below are a few examples of collaborations sought from JPL attendees who have already RSVP'd:

  • Spacecraft Architecture and Communications
  • Mechanisms and Mechanical Systems
  • Instrument formulation and implementation
