About

Peter Lyu is the VP of Solutions Engineering and Customer Success at Luminary Cloud. Luminary Cloud is an early-stage tech startup focused on innovations in high-performance computing for enterprise industrial R&D. Prior to join Luminary, Peter was the VP of Global Solutions and Customer Success at Rescale, where he led the global presales solutions architect, customer success, technical support, and professional service organizations in cloud HPC space. Peter received his bachelors, masters and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Michigan in Aerospace Engineering, where he worked on several NASA and Boeing projects on aircraft design and multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) of a blended-wing-body aircraft and morphing wing technology. He developed aerodynamic shape optimization algorithms, leveraging high-performance computing to reduce fuel burn and improve aircraft performance. He is a private pilot and flies Cessna, Diamond, and Piper single-engine airplanes.
