Advances in MEMS Sensors & Technologies
• MEMS based sensors are a key-enabler in a wide range of applications: from automotive, over consumer to the life science domain. MEMS is expected to even further proliferate in everyday life, due to their continued miniaturization, steady increase in performance and the accessibility of new sensing functionalities.
• This is possible due to a constant high level of innovation in e.g., processing and packaging technologies, as well as due to novel system-level concepts. This shows the need for an overarching approach, integrating all development domains.
• In his presentation, Dr. Ando Feyh (MEMS Strategy Management, New Business and M&A), will cover a brief review and compare this to the progress achieved by recent advancements in the field of MEMS based sensors. Several examples from above outlined domains will be discussed for illustration.
Dr. Ando Feyh
Bosch
Ando Feyh received his PhD degree in Electrical Engineering at RWTH Aachen University after a Physics Diploma degree at Stuttgart University.
He started his career at Bosch in 2002 within Corporate Research and Advance Engineering. Concentrating in the field of microsystems, he worked on integration and miniaturization of MEMS sensors, in development and in project management positions.
Between 2010 and 2014 he was an expat in the Silicon Valley in Palo Alto, leading different MEMS projects and an engineering group for MEMS pre-development.
2014 he joined the Bosch internal IoT startup “Bosch Connected Devices and Solutions”, first responsible for Advance Engineering and System Architecture, later as Head of Engineering. Mid 2018 he was nominated Head of Technical Responsibility / CTO, responsible for engineering, project management and product management of IoT devices.
Since mid 2021 he is focusing on MEMS Strategy Management, New Business and M&A projects within the Mobility Electronics Sensors Business unit.
