Pete is a technologist by profession and a tinkerer by nature. For the last seven years, he’s helped solve business problems with enterprise information technologies and continues to do so for the university’s Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP), where he’s a full-time senior Unix administrator.  As a CTD master's student, Pete hopes to foster his passion for creating, as well as to realize his ultimate goal of bringing joy and value to the world through interesting products, art, installations and/or services. Pete thoroughly enjoys the outdoors, especially long trips on shabby, old motorcycles.

Peter Pascente is on leave from the ATLAS Institute.
