Peter Y. Lu is an Eric and Wendy Schmidt AI in Science Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Chicago working at the intersection of physics and machine learning. He received a Ph.D. in Physics from MIT in 2022, where he was an NDSEG Fellow, and an A.B. in Physics and Mathematics from Harvard in 2016. His research interests include physics-informed machine learning and interpretable representational learning with applications in nonlinear dynamics, condensed matter physics, photonics, fluid dynamics, biophysics, and other areas. Peter aims to develop new computational methods for modeling and understanding physical systems with an emphasis on incorporating physics-informed priors and identifying relevant and interpretable latent representations.
