Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Vincent is a founding member of technical staff at Project Prometheus with 19 years of experience blending deep computational science and startup building. He spent over a decade at Imperial College London rising to Professor of Computational Fluid Dynamics after a Stanford postdoc focused on GPU-accelerated CFD and a PhD in computational blood dynamics. Peter has co-founded multiple companies (Kopernio, Cassyni, Quadrature Solutions) including a successful acquisition, showing an ability to translate academic research into products and teams. He contributes to open-source scientific software documentation (notably PyFR), improving usability and onboarding for complex numerical codes. Comfortable across high-performance computing, applied physics, and product strategy, he brings both rigorous modeling expertise and practical engineering instincts to early-stage technical ventures. An underappreciated strength is his track record of making highly specialized CFD tools accessible to broader developer and research communities.
