in Computing,� which teaches basic computer science to students at the College
of Letters and Sciences there. Since leaving UCLA, he has been on the faculty of
the University of San Francisco. At USF Peter has served as chair of the computer
science department and is currently chair of the mathematics department.

His research is in parallel scientific computing. He has worked on the development
of parallel software for circuit simulation, speech recognition, and the simulation
of large networks of biologically accurate neurons. Peter has been teaching
parallel computing at both the undergraduate and graduate levels for nearly twenty
years. He is the author of Parallel Programming with MPI, published by Morgan
