Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Du is a Sr. Robotics Engineer based in California with nine years of experience blending control theory and AI to design and validate safe robotic systems. He earned a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from UIUC, where his research applied reinforcement learning, stochastic differential equation optimization, and real-time monitoring to provide formal safety guarantees for autonomous shuttles in pedestrian environments. At NVIDIA he has moved those research insights into production, developing DNN-based collision detection, hardware-accelerated stereo depth packages for Jetson platforms, and perception fault monitors meeting IEC-61508–style integrity goals. Peter excels at closing the loop from theoretical verification to embedded implementation, and his background as an instructor in control and safe autonomy informs a pragmatic, safety-first engineering approach.
