Biography

Peter is the Kuse Endowed Chair and Professor in the College of Bioengineering at OSU and also a Professor at Oregon Health & Science University in the Biomedical Engineering Department. He directs the Artificial Intelligence for Medical Systems (AIMS) lab. His interests are in the area of medical device design, ubiquitous sensing technologies, machine learning, control systems, and signal processing as applied towards diabetes technologies and other diseases including multiple sclerosis. The AIMS lab is focused on developing advanced, AI-enabled control systems for automating delivery of insulin and other hormones including glucagon and pramlintide and evaluating these systems in people with diabetes. In recent years, the focus has been on integrating AI and exercise metrics into closed loop systems and in developing machine learning algorithms to predict hypoglycemia during sleep, during exercise, and in general under free-living conditions. In addition to his academic work, he has been an early contributor to a number of diabetes technology companies including Dexcom and iSense (now Trinity Biotech), and co-founder of Pacific Diabetes Technologies (www.pacificdt.com).
