Jasmine Rimani, PhD

Space Systems Engineer at AIKO - Autonomous Space Missions

Jasmine Rimani, PhD, has a diverse work experience in the field of aerospace engineering and space systems. They began their career as an intern at Thales Alenia Space, where they developed a parametric mass model for inflatable and deployable decelerators for Mars entry.

Following this, they interned at ESA/ESTEC, where they provided a conceptual design methodology to size air-launched spaceplanes. Their work focused on checking the design feasibility of an air-launched spaceplane aiming to reach low Earth orbit (LEO) and re-enter back to land on a conventional runway.

Jasmine then joined the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory as a visiting student, focusing on studying, modeling, and simulating the dynamics and preliminary guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) loop of high lift systems for planetary exploration. Specifically, they worked on ram-air parachutes for missions to Titan and Venus.

Next, they worked as a research fellow at ISAE-SUPAERO in the DCAS department, leading a team of 10 people towards a successful analog mission. Their objective was to design strategies to optimize the autonomous operation capabilities of planetary exploration robotic systems. The algorithms they developed were validated during the IGLUNA analog mission.

Jasmine also gained experience as a visiting PhD researcher at FOCSE in the Centre National d'Études Spatiales, where they collaborated with spacecraft operators to optimize the operations of the MIRS instrument onboard the MMX spacecraft. Their work focused on automating MIRS operations and developing an optimal data retriever for telemetry and science data.

They then joined Politecnico di Torino as a space systems engineer, where they developed a conceptual design methodology for human space systems around and on the Moon. Additionally, they served as a teaching assistant for multiple courses related to on-board equipment, avionics systems, integrated aerospace systems design, and space exploration and resources.

Currently, Jasmine is a systems engineer at AIKO - Infinite ways to autonomy, where they are involved in developing autonomous systems.

Jasmine Rimani, PhD, has an extensive education history in the field of aerospace, aeronautical, and astronautical engineering. Jasmine obtained their Doctor of Philosophy degree (PhD) from Politecnico di Torino, Italy, from 2019 to 2022. Prior to that, they completed their Laurea Magistrale (LM) in aerospace, aeronautical, and astronautical engineering from the same institution, spanning from 2015 to 2018. Jasmine began their academic journey at Politecnico di Torino in 2012 and graduated with a Laurea triennale (Bachelor's degree) in the same field of study in 2015.

In addition to their academic achievements, Jasmine Rimani has also earned certifications to further enhance their linguistic abilities. Jasmine obtained an IELTS level 7 certification from the British Council in March 2016, demonstrating their proficiency in the English language. Furthermore, they obtained the FIRST Certificate in English from the Cambridge English Language Assessment in September 2012, further highlighting their language skills.
