Projects and Company Information
Project Description
Company Information:
The Aerospace Corporation has provided independent technical and scientific research, development, and advisory services to national-security space programs since 1960. We operate a federally funded research and development center for the United States Air Force and the National Reconnaissance Office and support all national-security space programs. We also apply more than 40 years of experience with space systems to projects for civil agencies like NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, commercial companies, universities, and some international organizations in the national interest. Our highly skilled technical people have focused on ensuring the success of every mission and developing the most effective and economic space-related hardware and software in the world. Our insight and involvement in space programs has significantly reduced the risk of launch failure and increased both satellite endurance and performance. Our state-of-the-art laboratory facilities are staffed by some of the leading scientists in the world.

Company Information:
Arete Associates, founded in 1976, conducts leading-edge research and development in sensor hardware technology, data analysis, signal processing, and algorithm development; applied oceanography including experimental design and execution, instrumentation development, and data analysis; physics-based modeling, simulation, and high-resolution scene generation; and assessment of the impact of advanced technologies on military capabilities.
Project Description
Company Information:
The Center for Applied Molecular Medicine (CAMM) 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 CAMM 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, CAMM is investigating computational linguistics methods for comparison of clinical annotations from multiple datasets.

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:
The Laboratory in Northern New Mexico has more than 9,000 employees and approximately 650 contractor personnel. From its origins as a secret Manhattan Project laboratory, Los Alamos has attracted world-class scientists and applied their energy and creativity to solving the nation's most challenging problems. That tradition remains today. As one of the U.S. Department of Energy's multi-program, multi-disciplinary research laboratories, Los Alamos thrives on having the best people doing the best science to solve problems of global importance.

Company Information:
It is the mission of the Los Angeles Police Department to safeguard the lives
and property of the people we serve, to reduce the incidence and fear of crime, and to
enhance public safety while working with the diverse communities to improve their quality of life. Our mandate is to do so with honor and integrity, while at all times conducting ourselves with the highest ethical standards to maintain public confidence.
Project Description
Company Information:
Pathology is the gross and microscopic study of cells and tissues in order to determine the cause and etiology of a disease or outcome. Perinatal pathology includes the study of the placenta, the fetus or may also include study of the products of conception lost early in a pregnancy. The goal of Placental Analytics, LLC, is the development and operationalization of improved methods of placental measurement that will allow better understanding of how newborn, childhood and potentially adult diseases have their genesis in gestational stress.
Project Description
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 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.
Walt Disney Studios released its first fully animated feature film in 1937. More than seven decades later, Walt Disney Animation Studios continues to honor its heritage through animated films that combine beautiful artistry, masterful storytelling and ground breaking technology. Located in Burbank, California, Walt Disney Animation Studios brings imagination to life through traditional and computer animated films. Our crew is filled with diverse talent from all around the globe whose passion is to create beautiful and timeless films through the art of storytelling, the magic of animation and the science of cutting edge technology.
Pixar and Disney merged in 2006.
