斯特凡·芬克贝纳

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 received his PhD in Physics from the University of Stuttgart in 1995.

Dr. Finkbeiner was appointed as CEO of Bosch Sensortec in 2012, having previously served as General Manager and CEO of Akustica Inc, a Bosch Group company which develops MEMS microphones for consumer electronics applications and is located in Pittsburgh, PA, USA.

Dr. Finkbeiner joined Robert Bosch GmbH in 1995 and has been working for more than 20 years in different positions related to the research, development, manufacturing, and marketing of sensors. 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 recognized with the prestigious lifetime achievement award from MEMS & Sensors Industry Group.

Abstract:
While looking at current industry trends we notice that previously different application domains start to overlap – all this driven by connectivity and digitalization. While the internet of Things domains are well delimited on top level (Smart Cities, Smart Mobility, Smart Home etc.) The bridging technologies still need to be build. Stefan will take the perspective of a Sensor System Integrator and explaining which building blocks are available today and which parts still need to be developed. With this Stefan will draw the trajectory of cross domain convergence and shortly project on the impact of this convergence on the whole industry ecosystem.
