Peter Egelberg (Board member and founder of PHI, born 1963) has an extensive background in physics and computer engineering. Instead of relying on a microscope lens to create the image, Peter’s groundbreaking idea in 2000, which led to the foundation of PHI, was to record the light information that a computer algorithm requires to produce the image. This approach, offering several advantages, is today known as quantitative phase imaging and is set to fully replace the soon 100-year-old microscopy method commonly used to observe living cell cultures in regenerative medicine, conventional medical research and drug development.
