Explore JPL - Week 5

Caltech Student-Faculty Programs

This lunch-time program is designed to help undergrads learn more about the research happening at the Jet Propulsion Lab and connect them with possible SURF mentors for next summer.
A boxed lunch will be provided for those who register.
Note: Only U.S. citizens and U.S. permanent residents are eligible for SURFs and Summer Research programs at JPL
 
Matt Shaw is leading the development of superconducting nanowire single photon detectors at JPL. He has been a member of the superconducting devices and materials group at JPL since 2011. Prior to that, he was a postdoctoral scholar in applied physics at Caltech.  Dr. Shaw holds a B.S. in Physics from Reed College, a M.S. in Electrical Engineering from Boston University and a Ph.D. in Physics from USC. He was born and raised in Fairbanks, Alaska.
 
Jeff Delaune is a research scientist in Larry Matthies' computer vision group. His research is focused on navigation systems for autonomous vehicles, especially using visual and inertial sensors. He has applied these techniques to quadcopters, pinpoint planetary landing, autonomous driving and augmented reality. Jeff received his Ph.D. in robotics from the Institut Supérieur de l’Aéronautique et de l’Espace(ISAE) in France, in 2013.  He earned his M.S. in astronautics and space engineering fromÉcole Centrale de Nantes and Cranfield University in France, in 2009 as a double degree. He joined JPL as a postdoc at the end of 2015.
 
Glenn Orton - I did my undergraduate work at Brown in Physics honors (1970), PhD at Caltech in planetary science (1975), two years as a NASA/National Research Council postdoc @ JPL, 1/2 year as a contractor, then named as a Research Scientist at JPL in 1977.  I was promoted to a senior research scientist in 1995.  I work primarily in the infrared, doing remote sensing of the atmospheres of the outer solar system to determine thermal structure and composition, and I have published over 170 papers in the peer-reviewed literature as a primary author or co-author.  In addition to experience acquiring ground-based observations (NASA Infrared Telescope Facility, Keck I Telescope, Subaru Telescope, United Kingdom Infrared Telescope, James Clerke Maxwell Telescope, University of Hawaii telescope, Gemini North and South Telescopes, Very Large Telescope, Palomar 5-meter telescope, Kuiper Airborne Observatory, Stratospheric Observatory for Airborne Astronomy), I have been on the spacecraft teams over various missions (Pioneer 10, 11; Galileo; Cassini and Juno science teams; as well as Hubble, Spitzer and Herschel key-project and guest investigator). I have mentored about 200 students in SURF and various other programs during various parts of the academic year.  For Juno, I’m in charge of coordinating the Earth-based support campaign, and I am involved with the analysis of data from several of Juno’s own instruments.
