He was a Scientist until 1995, and Chief Computational Scientist from 1995 to 2008. While at HAO he wrote detailed technical schema that remains decades ahead of its time to this date. Early in 2008, while employed at HAO, Peter was being actively recruited by a number of academic and research organizations in the U.S.A. and internationally. In September 2008 he accepted a Chaired Full Professor appointment with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Troy, New York. Peter was the third senior chair in the Tetherless World Constellation (TWC). He is remembered as a visionary, brilliant, kind, empathetic, poetic, funny, generous, influential, and an exceptional mentor.</p> <p><a
