KEYNOTE—How MEMS & Sensors Have Positively Impacted Our Lives
ABSTRACT
In his keynote, Stefan Finkbeiner will take you on a journey through fascinating use cases enabled by MEMS sensors.
Whether in the automotive sector, in industry, or in the field of consumer electronics: MEMS sensors are the interfaces between the physical and digital world and provide more safety and comfort. In the early days, it was simple to use cases like screen rotation that made smartphones easier to use. Today, the highest demands on power consumption and size rule, and embedded AI provides personalization – both in the area of fitness and environmental sensing.
In this keynote, you will learn how Bosch meets these requirements by showing various use cases and how the company implements them in its manufacturing process and how many lives were saved along the way.
BIOGRAPHY
Stefan Finkbeiner was born in 1966 in Freudenstadt, Germany. He received his Diploma in Physics from the University of Karlsruhe in 1992. He then studied at the Max-Planck-Institute in Stuttgart and there received his PhD in Physics in 1995. Dr. Finkbeiner was appointed as CEO of Bosch Sensortec in 2012.
He joined Robert Bosch GmbH in 1995 and has been working in different positions related to the research, development, manufacturing, and marketing of sensors for more than 20 years. Senior positions at Bosch have included Director of Marketing for sensors, Director of Corporate Research in microsystems technology, and Vice President of Engineering for sensors. In 2015, Dr. Finkbeiner was awarded with the prestigious lifetime achievement award from the MEMS & Sensors Industry Group.
