Peter Teuben's main interests are in galactic dynamics and hydrodynamics, and in community software development. Using numerical simulation (NEMO), he studies hydrodynamics in barred galaxies, for comparison to mm-wavelength molecular observations from BIMA. The basic models study gas flow in single bars; more recently, simulations with double bars and other refinements are being developed. He has a long-term involvement in development of community software for visualization and analysis of N-body and related simulations (NEMO and Starlab, and Tipsy++). Recently, he has become involved in the international Virtual Observatory (VO) effort, developing the idea of incorporating various types of theory ``data'' in the VO.
He received his PhD at the University of Groningen in 1986 (title: "Dynamics of Barred Galaxies", advisor: T.S. van Albada) Previously he held research assistantships at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and the Astronomy Department at the University of Illinois in Urbana.
