His primary and secondary education were in the Boston Public School system, and he graduated from Boston Latin School. He studied Mechanical Engineering at Tufts University and received his bachelor, master, and doctoral degrees from there. Peter continues his lifelong learning in technical topics (e.g., thermal processing, comparative biomechanics, biomedical devices, and nanotechnology) and educational areas (e.g., STEM education, professional development for teachers, and informal science education). He enjoys cooking classic dishes and modern cuisines using the latest techniques and technologies (e.g., sous vide, culinary whipper, and liquid nitrogen).
