Teaching and Education

We regularly present project material and results to regulatory groups, corporate executives, and government bodies information on renewable generation and the electricity market. We also provide lecturing and tutoring services in the fields of physics, mathematics and electrical engineering, and environmental sciences. Have given dozens of MS-Powerpoint based tutorials and seminars to audiences ranging from tertiary students to experts in the field, we provide customized learning environments for groups as well as on an individual basis. With experience in organizing conferences and symposia, university lecturing, and serving as resident College tutors, we have extensive experience in the educational field.

Some of the areas we provide educational services:

• Electricity markets: Rules and Regulations, Renewable Portfolio Standards, Integration of Renewable Energy, and Capacity Markets.
• Engineering: Power System Engineering, Network Modeling, Metering, Signal Processing, Reticulation.
• Physics: electromagnetism, wave theory, plasma physics, quantum physics, mechanics, and astrophysics.
• Mathematics: logic, calculus, multivariable calculus, linear algebra, geometry, differential equations, probability and statistics.
• Environmental Studies: Sustainable Buildings, Green House Gas Audits, Sustainable Communities, and Energy Efficiency.
• Quantitative Data Analysis: Statistics, Matlab, and SQL.

Our experience in the educational fields includes:

Dr. William Peter has a Master’s and PhD from Stanford University, where he studied physics and engineering within the Electrical Engineering department. He has served as Lecturer at La Trobe University, where he taught a full-credit tertiary Astrophysics course to ~15 second-year students. He was selected student coordinator of the 2006 Geospace Environment Modeling (GEM) summer workshop; he was responsible for organizing student tutorials as well as social activities for 80+ postgraduate students over a four-day event.

Kersti Peter has a Master’s of Environment (Sustainable Cities, Sustainable Regions) degree from The University of Melbourne in Australia. Dr. William Peter and Kersti Peter served as Resident Tutors and members of the Senior Common Room of Ormond College at the University of Melbourne. Ormond College is a residential college with over 350 tertiary University of Melbourne students. They tutored students in a variety of subjects, both in formal and informal settings. They resided at the college, supporting and mentoring the students while representing the College at various social and community functions.

Thomas Peter has a Master’s of Business Adminstration and a B.S. in Industrial Engineering from Cornell University. He has over six years of experience teaching Science and Mathematics as the science department head at the Sarasota Military Academy. There he taught high school Algebra, integrated Science, Research 1 and 2, Astronomy, Physics, and Advanced Placement Physics both B and C.
