Dr. Palmieri's clinical, training, and research interests all revolve around the overarching theme of trauma informed care. Clinically, he specializes in the evidence-based assessment and cognitive-behavioral treatment of mood, anxiety, and stress-related disorders, especially Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and its commonly co-occurring conditions. He trains students and licensed health care providers on trauma informed best practices, and he provides training and consultation in trauma informed care for health care and other organizations. An active researcher, he has authored or co-authored over 50 peer-reviewed publications. His research has focused on risk and resilience factors of PTSD, the nature and trajectories of post-trauma responding, development of tools assessing PTSD and PTSD risk, evaluation of PTSD treatments, and the role of trauma and PTSD in physical health. In recent years his interests have expanded to include health care reform and the integration of primary care and behavioral health care, including trauma-informed primary care. He co-chaired the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services' Trauma Informed Care Advisory Committee and chairs the Summit County Trauma Informed Care Coalition, whose mission is to increase awareness and understanding within the community about trauma and its effects, to improve quality of care and access to evidence-based services, and to facilitate collaboration and a more coordinated response to trauma issues across systems. He also serves as the Health Care and Education Advisor for Modern Warrior Live, a musical theatrical project with a mission to promote dialogue between veterans and civilians, de-stigmatize PTSD, and promote post-trauma recovery and growth.

Salar Nadar
Salar Nadar, one of the most sought-after young percussionists of his generation, was born in Germany to Afghan parents forced to flee their home during the Russian-Afghan war. Just five-years-old when his family settled in the San Francisco area, he began studying at age seven with the legendary tabla virtuoso Ustad Zakir Hussain. Nader already played tabla and was familiar with the basic rhythms of Afghan and Indian folk and pop music. He began classical training early, first concentrating on the spoken rhythmic system of North Indian percussion, bols. Hussain became his guru, and today counts Nader as one of his most talented protégés ever. Nader is now a founding member of today’s foremost Afghan music ensemble, Sounds and Rhythms of Afghanistan (SARA), in which he plays dhol and dholak Afghan percussion, in addition to tabla. Accompanying world-renowned classical musicians from South Asia during their visits to San Francisco, and performing at the age of just twelve with master Pakistani vocalist Ustad Salamat Ali Khan, as well as his virtuoso sons Shafqat, Sharafat and Sukhawat, Nader has collaborated with master musicians visiting from India, including sarangi virtuoso Ustad Sultan Khan. Even as he made his way with the greats of Indian and Pakistani classical music, Nader kept up ties with his ancestral tradition, accompanying Afghan singers whose music is built around Farsi poetry and specialized musical ideas.
