Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Waksman is a retired software engineer and math PhD who built widely deployed image-processing and AI algorithms for semiconductor, printer, and dental industries, and whose work drove automation yield improvements and the first digital dental bridges manufactured in Waltham. He has deep expertise in 3D pattern recognition, language processing, and design automation, authored patents and publications, and continues to explore language and world models through his Narwhal Python project and active blogging. Comfortable moving between low-level signal parsing (the ripple algorithm) and high-level virtual articulators, he combines academic rigor with practical product impact across industry and research. Based in Falmouth, MA, he recently published a book, remains intellectually active in geometry applied to thesaurus spaces, and keeps contributing open-source ideas that bridge math and language.
