Rachel Adenekan
Ph.D. Student in Mechanical Engineering, admitted Spring 2018
Stanford Student Employee, Vice Provost for Graduate EducationBioI am passionate about working at the interface of medicine and engineering to develop novel technologies that enable and encourage humans to live healthier lives. During my time at Stanford, I have built and led collaborations between engineers and clinicians, and have led research design, execution, and analysis for the development of multiple mobile health technologies. Currently, I am developing and deploying a high-resolution, reproducible, and accessible (to clinicians and patients) screening method for Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) using a smartphone which can identify individuals at risk for DPN prior to overt clinical manifestation and at a potentially reversible stage. Previously, I developed methods of controlling wearable robotic devices (exoskeletons) to enhance balance ability in older adults.

Nick Delurgio
Masters Student in Mechanical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2022
BioNick Delurgio is a graduate student in Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University. Nick previously received his B.S. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin, where he developed in interest in Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) for Aerospace applications. At Stanford, Nick is pursuing his interest in GNC through Distributed Space Systems (DSS) research, advised by Professor Simone D'Amico. Nick's research involves the development of dynamics, guidance, and control strategies for RPOD missions in eccentric orbits, as well as creating reduced order modeling techniques to simplify formation flying mission design.

Tim Flint
Ph.D. Student in Mechanical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2017
BioI am a PhD candidate in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University working with Professor Parviz Moin . My PhD research is on the receptivity of the flow field around high-speed bodies. I hope to understand how free-stream disturbances excite instabilities that may grow and become relevant to boundary layer transition in high-speed flight.
