Caltech Division of Engineering and Applied Science

A new report from the Keck Institute for Space Studies (KISS) outlines a blueprint for combining greenhouse gas and wind data to better pinpoint emission sources.

The effort—led by Paul Wennberg (Caltech), Mary Whelan (Rutgers University), and Nick Parazoo (NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory)—calls for integrating atmospheric chemistry and meteorology to improve monitoring of carbon dioxide and methane.

New KISS Report Presents Blueprint for Combining Greenhouse Gas and Wind Data The multi-institution collaboration's findings will help better mitigate unwanted sources of pollution.

Congratulations to Andrei Faraon, William L. Valentine Professor of Applied Physics and Electrical Engineering, on being named the next Fletcher Jones Foundation Director of Caltech’s Kavli Nanoscience Institute (KNI)!

Andrei succeeds Julia R. Greer, Ruben F. and Donna Mettler Professor of Materials Science, Mechanics and Medical Engineering, who will now serve as Caltech’s executive officer for applied physics and materials science.

Since 2003, KNI has been a hub for groundbreaking nanoscale research—from quantum engineering and photonics to medical engineering and materials science. We look forward to seeing Andrei’s leadership further advance nanofabrication capabilities, research innovation, and education for the next generation of scientists.

Andrei Faraon Named Director of Kavli Nanoscience Institute The professor of applied physics and electrical engineering takes over at the helm of KNI following nearly six years of Julia Greer's leadership

Join us tomorrow at 4 PM PT at Ramo Auditorium, Caltech, for the Wouk Lecture! Pedro Pizarro, President & CEO of Edison International, and David Welch, Co-Founder of NosTerra, will discuss clean energy systems and green tech.
