About
Patrick Eppenberger is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of biomedical imaging, archaeology, and terahertz (THz) technology. His primary research areas include non-destructive subsurface analysis of ancient human remains, the development of novel imaging methodologies, and the application of robotic systems in heritage science. Eppenberger’s most notable contribution is his groundbreaking 2019 study, which demonstrated the use of a robotic THz imaging system to investigate the sub-surface structure of an artificially mummified ancient Egyptian human hand—a work that has garnered 75 citations. By comparing THz results with conventional CT and micro-CT scans, he revealed the unique potential of robotic THz systems to provide new, non-ionizing insights into preserved biological tissues, offering a complementary tool for paleoradiology and bioarchaeology. His work bridges engineering, medical imaging, and archaeology, opening new avenues for studying delicate artifacts without damage. Eppenberger’s research is highly influential among scientists seeking to push the boundaries of non-invasive heritage diagnostics, positioning him as a key figure in the emerging field of THz-based cultural heritage analysis.
