Hi, I'm Peter He
Cornell 🌽 ECE + Robotics '27
I work within the areas of Human Computer Interaction (HCI), Wearables, and XR.
At Cornell University I conduct research under Prof. Cheng Zhang in the Sci-Fi Lab as well as with Prof. Cara Nunez in the HAPPI Lab and previously with Prof. Thijs Roumen at Cornell Tech.
I also founded and lead Cornell XR, the fastest club to ever become an official Cornell Engineering project team building projects in Haptics and XR.
Previously, I was an engineering intern @ Mira, building both software and hardware for smartglasses with a display + always-on AI assistance, I also made firebending real.
Outside of academics, I really enjoy creative work and prototyping interaction concepts.
I am applying for PhDs with a Fall 2027 start date. If you find my work interesting, I would love to chat about potential opportunities!
