菲尔·穆尔比是一名工程师和计算机科学家。穆尔比在英国伯明翰出生和长大，并在英国南安普顿大学学习数学。穆尔比于1974年在英国曼彻斯特大学获得计算机科学硕士学位。他于1983年移居美国。
1984年，当他在Gateway Design Automation工作时，他发明了Verilog硬件描述语言，并开发了第一个符合行业标准的仿真器Verilog-XL。1990年，Gateway被Cadence Design Systems收购。
1997年，穆尔比加入初创公司SynaPix，致力于匹配运动和视频跟踪算法，利用光流、运动场和点云等技术，自动从视频帧中提取3D模型。
Moorby于1999年加入Co-Design Automation，2002年加入Synopsys从事SystemVerilog验证语言的工作。
2005年10月10日，穆尔比成为2005年菲尔·考夫曼奖(Phil Kaufman Award)的获奖者，以表彰他对EDA行业的贡献，特别是对Verilog的开发和普及。Verilog是世界上最流行的电子设计自动化工具之一。
2016年4月，穆尔比被任命为计算机历史博物馆会员，“因为他发明并推广了Verilog硬件描述语言(VerilogHardware Description Language)。”

PhilMoorby is an engineer and computer scientist. Moorby was born and brought up inBirmingham, England, and studied Mathematics at Southampton University,England. Moorby received his master's degree in computer science fromManchester University, England, in 1974. He moved to the United States in 1983.
Whileworking in Gateway Design Automation, in 1984 he invented the Verilog hardwaredescription language, and developed the first and industry standard simulatorVerilog-XL. In 1990 Gateway was purchased by Cadence Design Systems.
In1997 Moorby joined startup company SynaPix, where he worked on match moving andvideo tracking algorithms for automatically extracting 3D models from videoframes, using techniques such as optical flow, motion field and point clouds.
Moorbyjoined Co-Design Automation in 1999, and in 2002 he joined Synopsys to work onSystemVerilog verification language.
OnOctober 10, 2005, Moorby became the recipient of the 2005 Phil Kaufman Awardfor his contributions to the EDA industry, specifically for development andpopularization of Verilog, one of the world's most popular tools of electronicdesign automation.
InApril 2016, Moorby was made a Fellow of the Computer History Museum, "forhis invention and promotion of the Verilog hardware description language."
