I don’t know any professors with joint appointments at JPL and Caltech, though I do know a few grad students who spend a decent chunk of time at both places. I think there are also some “staff scientists” or whatever title they have now at Caltech which also spend time at JPL.

Also, I imagine MIT has 5x the expenditures as Caltech since they’re nearly that much larger. Also, they may or may not be including the MIT Lincoln Lab which handles a bit of defense/government money. So if JPL isn’t being counted but Lincoln Lab is, that could also skew things.

Also, how is the University of Dayton spending more money in Materials Science research than any other school? I haven’t even heard of them. =
