POSTERS

More than 100 researchers - graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, staff scientists and research engineers - work in JCAP laboratories at Caltech, LBNL, SLAC, Stanford, UC San Diego and Irvine. Their work is captured in posters presented here , covering a wide range of research fields, including materials discovery and characterization, developments of new experimental and theoretical methods, beam-line science, in-depth studies of catalytic mechanisms, and discovery of new solar-fuels generators.
