with advanced industrial and wireless networking strategies and brought various forms of wireless communications into the RAE
Systems product suite. Previously, he held many different positions in academia including his work at San Jose University
where his efforts concentrated on integrating sensing systems into wireless communication networks. During 2001 he founded the
Institute for Sensors and Wireless Networking which operates under San Jose State University's Metropolitan Research Park.
Peter was a Professor at the University of Vermont with the primary mission of initiating the development of an "Optics" area in the
Electrical Engineering Department emphasizing optical and wireless communications. From 1991-1997, Peter served as the co-founder
and CEO of VT Sensing, Inc. a company that developed advanced wireless sensing systems for integration into large civil structures.
Prior to his work in academia, Peter worked at NASA-Goddard Space Flight Center where his principle tasks involved various aspects
of photon-based remote sensing, laser communications and lunar measurements.
Peter is a founder and executive board member of the Wireless Industrial Networking Alliance (WINA), a senior member of IEEE, and
chairperson of the interoperability committee within the SP100 standards organization and leading the efforts to develop the
standard for wireless in industrial automation. He is a frequent speaker at many industry events on wireless sensors and networking.
Peter holds a B.S. in physics and mathematics from Beloit College. Peter did his masters and doctorate work at John Hopkins
University where he received a M.S.E. and Ph.D. in electrical engineering.
