About Me
Hello! This is Peter. Thanks for dropping by!
My research revolves around the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and physics simulation. Physics simulation has arguably been the bedrock of contemporary science, engineering, and design. My overarching objective is to democratize physics simulation, ensuring accessibility to every scientist, engineer, and designer. To attain this vision, physics simulation must meet the criteria of precision, speed, generalizability, and ease-of-use. I firmly believe that achieving this objective requires a thoughtful fusion of cutting-edge AI methodologies with classical numerical methods. Indeed, this fusion has consistently formed the underlying theme of my research.
Along with my collaborators, we publish in top venues of machine learning, computer graphics, computational physics, mechanics, robotics, and more. If there is any idea that you would like to bounce off, please do not hesitate to contact me!
Currently, I am a postdoc at MIT CSAIL, working with Wojciech Matusik. I completed my CS PhD from Columbia, advised by Eitan Grinspun. Before this, I was a math undergrad from UCLA (#GoBruins).
Outside of work, I am a foodie. If I am not consuming food myself, I am probably watching mukbang videos. Food sparks joy like no other! I am always down munching together. Just let me know.
And yes, I am applying for faculty jobs this year. Happy to chat about it!
