Company Information:
Trailblazing has been the business of JPL since it was established by the California Institute of Technology in the 1930s. America's first satellite, Explorer 1, was created at JPL. In the decades that followed, JPL sent the first robotic craft to the Moon and out across the solar system, reconnoitering all of the planets except one. Pushing the outer edge of exploration, in fact, is the reason JPL exists as a NASA laboratory.

Company Information:
Pixar Animation Studios is the industry leader in the creation of original stories in the medium of computer animation. It began with its first animated short film, Luxo Jr., shortly after being founded by Steve Jobs in 1986. For the next five-years, Pixar focused on developing the technologies necessary to produce the first completely computer animated feature film. Pixar’s relentless pursuit of creative technical solutions to the needs of the underlying story has made its films a unique mixture of cutting-edge visual special effects and good old fashion storytelling. Recent research advancements in fluid animation have once again raised the bar in computer graphics, providing motivation for Pixar to explore the animation of high viscosity/viscoelastic fluids.

Company Information:
The Spielberg Family Center for Applied Proteomics (SFCAP) is a multidisciplinary team of researchers dedicated to furthering the development and use of proteomic technologies to guide doctors in patient management decisions. The principle goal of our center is the development, validation and application of proteomics technologies for the diagnosis and management of disease. Towards this vision, the SFCAP is actively applying existing proteomics techniques to clinical and biological samples to better understand the biology of cancer and other diseases, and developing new technologies that will allow us to extract more information more reproducibly from biological and clinical samples. Computationally, its focus is on the reliable and reproducible extraction and comparison of quality assurance and quantitative information from high-resolution mass spectrometric proteomics data. Finally, SFCAP is investigating computational linguistics methods for comparison of clinical annotations from multiple datasets.
