The California Institute of Technology, known as Caltech, is a private research university in Pasadena, California, which began in 1891 as Throop University and took its present name in 1920. A small school with a strong emphasis on physics, chemistry, astronomy, geology and engineering, it counts many Nobel laureates among its faculty and alumni and manages the Jet Propulsion Laboratory for NASA. The atlas links scientists to it where their cited articles place them on its faculty or among its students.
