Peter obtained his bachelor of science in France in 2013. After that, he studied at the IUT of Aix Marseille in the field of chemical engineering and processes. The separation operations such as distillation, absorption, but also filtration were all part of the vast scope of his training; he studied both theoretically and at semi-industrial scale.

Peter realized a ten-week course on the subject "Study of different types of grit chambers". He first studied the settling of wastewater and particularly the settling velocity of different particles. Later, he worked on samples of the grit chamber of the city of Québec in order to compose a picture and analyze performance.
