Peter Egelberg, PhD

CEO of Phase Holographic Imaging

Peter Egelberg (CEO and founder of PHI, born 1963) has a career-long background in physics and computer engineering. Rather than letting the microscope lens form the image, Peter’s idea in 2000 that led to PHI was to instead record the light information a computer algorithm needs to create the image.

This approach, providing several advantages, is today known as quantitative phase imaging (QPI) 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.
