Peter Hristov is an experienced researcher in the “Future Cities” research group at the GATE Institute.
He holds a bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering (2014) from the University of Liverpool. His dissertation was granted the annual “Best Student Project” award of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE). In 2018, Peter obtained his doctoral degree in uncertainty quantification and computational modelling in 2018, from the University of Liverpool.

From 2018 to 2024, Peter worked with various industrial partners, including Airbus UK, as a post-doctoral research assistant in the area of computational engineering and uncertainty quantification, at the “Institute for Risk and Uncertainty” in the UK. His work focused on the development of computational methods for uncertainty quantification, applicable to the industrial context. Since 2021 he works at the GATE Institute as part of their knowledge and skill transfer programme. In 2022, Peter received funding under the National Science Fund’s young scientist programme for his research into uncertainty-aware digital twins.

Peter collaborates actively with partners from international industrial, academic and R&D institutions, including Boeing Commercial Airplanes, AIAA, NASA, DLR, SINTEF, RISE, University of Liverpool, University of Southampton, Chalmers University, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, University of Twente, Eindhoven University of Technology, Politecnico di Milano.
His research interests span the fields of computational and numerical modelling, uncertainty quantification, certification by analysis, physics-based machine learning, and aerospace design.
