Peter Spijker was born in August 1980 in a town near Utrecht, in the Netherlands. The first twenty years of his life he lived in Nieuwegein, but in April 2000 he moved to Eindhoven for his study biomedical engineering at the Eindhoven University of Technology. He left the city of Eindhoven temporarily from August 2003 to August 2004 to do his master thesis research at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, United States. In January 2005 he started as a graduate student at the Eindhoven University of Technology in the field of molecular simulations. On the 8th of June 2009 he successfully defended his Ph.D. thesis. Since then he has moved to the Lake Geneva area to work at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland, where his focus still is on molecular simulations.

Since he has been 8 years old he has been taking pictures of the world around him. Things only started to get more serious in 1998 when he bought his first SLR camera, which was replaced with a new SLR camera in early 2003. And yes, he has been one of those few people that used film instead of digital for a long period of time. However, as of January 2009 he also switched to the digital world, with his Sony Alpha 900 camera.
