Jasmin E. Palmer
Ph.D. Student in Mechanical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2019
BioJasmin earned a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering with a concentration in Controls, Instrumentation, and Robotics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University. Jasmin is currently pursuing her Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University and conducting research with faculty supervisor Professor Allison Okamura in the Collaborative Haptics in Robotics in Medicine (CHARM) Lab. Jasmin’s Ph.D. research centers around human-computer interaction and haptics, the science of and relating to the sense of touch. Developing technology that provides beneficial haptic feedback to human operators requires a multi-pronged and interdisciplinary approach. Her work leverages concepts from psychology and neuroscience to understand human perception, experimental design, and statistical analysis, and also applies her engineering background in dynamic modeling of physical systems and mechatronic system development in order to develop novel designs for wearable devices. The goal of her thesis is to develop an adaptable simulation framework that provides realistic haptic feedback for humans to perform various dexterous manipulation tasks in dynamic virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR) environments using wrist-worn tactile devices. Jasmin wants to become an inspiration for other women of color to pursue careers in STEM fields. Jasmin also enjoys composing music, playing the flute, and studying foreign languages.

Antonello Paolino
Graduate Visiting Researcher Student, Mechanical Engineering
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.
