Biography

 Gert I. Andersson, MSc.EE, Ph. D, Associate Professor. My doctoral studies concerned the influence of process-induced defects on electrical properties of silicon junctions. After the doctoral studies my research has focused on MEMS sensors, especially inertial sensors accelerometers and gyros. First, for a period of six years at the department of Solid-State Electronics at Chalmers University of Technology as researcher, lecture, group leader and laboratory manager. During this period I was also responsible for the user planning of MC2, Microtechnology Centre at Chalmers, that is a world class research and cleanroom facility built on the Chalmers campus. Thereafter in January 1999, I joined the new founded Imego institute. There I had a central role in building-up the institute that now since April 1, 2012 is merged with RISE Acreo AB. My publication list includes more than 50 technical publications (> 500 citations), approximate 10 patent portfolios with more than 30 granted and pending patents. I have successfully managed to transfer my own research results to commercial products as one of the inventors to the Butterfly-gyro, a MEMS gyro for automotive and high performance professional applications. Further, with my practical mindset I have catalyzed numerous of other research-to-market transitions. As CTO at Acreo Sensor Systems my main work responsiblities are R&D strategy, business
