Biography: After being awarded a D.Phil. in Physics, Peter worked as a Research Fellow at the University of York in the UK and then as a scientist or staff member at research laboratories in the UK, Germany, and the US. In 1989, Peter and two others started Vista Control Systems, developing software for data acquisition, SCADA, and process control.

Peter has worked on CAMAC hardware and software standards, and has organized conferences and exhibits. He wrote data acquisition software for a synchrotron radiation facility and for the European Molecular Biology Laboratory. Since completing his degrees, he has worked exclusively in the fields of real-time software and hardware, mostly applied to research. At Los Alamos National Laboratory, Peter led a group that developed control systems for charged particle beam accelerators and storage rings.

Peter is an active member of IEEE, and has served as secretary, vice president, and president of the IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Science Society. IEEE acknowledged his service to the society by presenting him with the 2002 Richard F. Shea Distinguished Member Award. He is a member of the American Physical Society, the European Physics Society, the Institute of Physics in the United Kingdom, the Instrument Society of America, the Industrial Computer Society, and the Association of Iron and Steel Engineers. With over 60 papers published in journals and at conferences, Peter is an established member of the physics and process controls community.
