Presentation Summary
Speaker BiographyDr. Caillat is a principal member of the technical staff at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory/California Institute of Technology. He has been involved in thermoelectric materials and devices R&D for nearly 20 years. Dr. Caillat has served as PI for DARPA, ONR, DOE, and NASA projects. He has played a key role in the development of several families of advanced thermoelectric materials, including skutterudites and Zn4Sb3-based materials. More recently, he has been involved in the development of advanced thermoelectric technology for both space and terrestrial applications. He is the author of over 80 journal papers and has 17 US and international patents on thermoelectric materials and devices. He is currently serving a 3-year term as the President of the International Thermoelectric Society (www.its.org). Company ProfileSince its inception in 1958, NASA has accomplished many great scientific and technological feats in air and space. NASA technology also has been adapted for many nonaerospace uses by the private sector. NASA remains a leading force in scientific research and in stimulating public interest in aerospace exploration, as well as science and technology in general. Perhaps more importantly, our exploration of space has taught us to view Earth, ourselves, and the universe in a new way. While the tremendous technical and scientific accomplishments of NASA demonstrate vividly that humans can achieve previously inconceivable feats, we also are humbled by the realization that Earth is just a tiny "blue marble" in the cosmos.
