Sensor Fusion and the Role of MEMS in IoT

Date: Thursday May 28, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. EST

Free to attend

Length: Approximately one hour

MEMS have quite different process and material requirements compared to mainstream microprocessor and memory types of devices. This webcast will explore the latest trends in MEMS devices – including sensor fusion and the important role that MEMS will play in the Internet of Things (IoT). Marcellino Gemelli, Head of Business Development at Bosch Sensortec will discuss how smart systems are enabled through sensor fusion. Karen Lightman, Executive Director of MEMS Industry Group (MIG), will provide a “debrief” from the recent MEMS Technical Congress and a preview of a SEMICON West workshop focused on back-end challenges.

Speakers: 

Marcellino Gemelli, Head of Business Development, Bosch Sensortec

Marcellino Gemelli received the ‘Laurea’ degree in Electronic Engineering at the University of Pavia, Italy in 1994, while in the Italian Army and an MBA from MIP, the Milano (Italy) Polytechnic business school. He is currently based in Palo Alto (CA) and is responsible for business development of Bosch Sensortec’s MEMS product portfolio and Bosch’s IoT wireless sensor network initiative. He previously held various engineering and product management positions at STMicroelectronics from 1995 to 2011 in the fields of MEMS, electronic design automation and data storage. He was also a contract professor for the Microelectronics course at the Milano (Italy) Polytechnic from 2000 to 2002.

Tony Massimini, Chief of Technology at Semico Research Corporation

Tony has been analyzing the market for microprocessors (MPUs) and microcontrollers (MCUs) in both the computing and embedded control markets.  He is also an expert for Micro-Electrical Mechanical Systems (MEMS). Tony analyzes the MEMS market covering such topics as Sensor Fusion, smart phones, medical applications, oscillators, energy harvesting, electronic standards and the Internet of Things.  Tony is instrumental in coordinating the development of Semico’s Bill of Materials for Semico’s online MAP Model analysis tool.

Karen Lightman, Executive Director, MEMS Industry Group (MIG)

Karen played a pivotal role in launching MIG in January 2001. Karen is active on the worldwide MEMS conference circuit as a keynote speaker and panelist promoting MIG’s role as the leading trade association advancing MEMS and sensors across global markets. Karen manages the operations of MIG; spearheads strategic growth; and oversees sales, public relations, marketing and outreach. Karen plays a critical role in creating the content for all MIG and MIG-partner conferences, events and programming. She is instrumental in establishing and maintaining partnerships with other international organizations to advance the MEMS industry.
