Antonello Paolino
Affiliate, Program-Iaccarino, G.
BioI am a Visiting Student Researcher at Stanford Mechanical Engineering, working on the PSAAP project under Prof. Gianluca Iaccarino's supervision.
I received my BSc (2018) and MSc (2021) in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Naples Federico II.
I am currently a PhD Student at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Genoa and the University of Naples Federico II under the supervision of Dr. Daniele Pucci and Prof. Renato Tognaccini. My PhD research focuses on the modeling and control of the aerodynamic forces acting on the jet-powered humanoid robot iRonCub using both classical and machine learning approaches. -
Angelo Passariello
Affiliate, Mechanical Engineering - Flow Physics and Computation
BioI am a Research Engineer at the Italian Aerospace Research Centre (CIRA), where I work on high‑fidelity numerical simulations for aerospace applications. My research focuses on hybrid RANS–LES turbulence modeling, with particular attention to associated challenges such as modeled stress depletion and grey area formation.
I am currently in the final year of a PhD in Industrial Engineering at the University of Naples Federico II (Italy), where I also earned my Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering.
My academic and professional interests lie in advanced CFD methods, turbulence modeling, and the development of reliable simulation tools for complex aerodynamic flows. -
Marco Pavone
Associate Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Senior Fellow at the Precourt Institute for Energy and Associate Professor, by courtesy, of Electrical Engineering & of Computer Science
BioDr. Marco Pavone is an Associate Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Stanford University, where he directs the Autonomous Systems Laboratory and the Center for Automotive Research at Stanford. He is also a Distinguished Research Scientist at NVIDIA where he leads autonomous vehicle research. Before joining Stanford, he was a Research Technologist within the Robotics Section at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. He received a Ph.D. degree in Aeronautics and Astronautics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2010. His main research interests are in the development of methodologies for the analysis, design, and control of autonomous systems, with an emphasis on self-driving cars, autonomous aerospace vehicles, and future mobility systems. He is a recipient of a number of awards, including a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers from President Barack Obama, an Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award, a National Science Foundation Early Career (CAREER) Award, a NASA Early Career Faculty Award, and an Early-Career Spotlight Award from the Robotics Science and Systems Foundation. He was identified by the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) as one of America's 20 most highly promising investigators under the age of 40. His work has been recognized with best paper nominations or awards at a number of venues, including the European Conference on Computer Vision, the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, the European Control Conference, the IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems, the Field and Service Robotics Conference, the Robotics: Science and Systems Conference, and the INFORMS Annual Meeting.
