Bio :

Andreja Erbes received the M.Eng., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees from the Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge, in 2011, 2014, and 2015, respectively, in electrical and electronic engineering. In 2009, he spent one year abroad at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Cambridge-MIT Exchange Program) and took part in an undergraduate-research opportunity program with the Weinstein Research Group, where he worked on novel RF MEMS. Since 2022, he is the Director of Technology Scouting and R&D Partnerships at STMicroelectronics within the Analog, Power & Discrete, MEMS and Sensors group.

Abstract :

Sensors and actuators are at the heart of our interactions with the digital world. These devices, based on micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technologies and embedded with highly efficient and intelligent processing, are effectively merging the offline and online worlds. This fusion of technology into our daily lives is steering us towards a sustainable 'Onlife' era.

For the past 25 years, STMicroelectronics has been a global leader in MEMS, incorporating sustainability practices into the innovative technologies that are developed. This enables new applications and smarter, more sustainable products for our customers.

Piezoelectric MEMS technologies are an integral part of our sensor and actuator products, addressing the diverse requirements of modern applications. The latest advancements in piezoelectric MEMS technology show how process and design innovations are fueling today's applications and anticipating the needs of the future.

Additionally, STMicroelectronics is positioned to aid early-stage companies in their industrialization journey, helping to expedite their production scale-up for cutting-edge sensors and actuators. STMicroelectronics’s Singapore campus is 'Lab-in-Fab,' an 8-inch (200 mm) facility developed in partnership with the Institute of Microelectronics, offers a unique industrialization framework that supports customers in developing and transitioning their novel concept process technology to high-volume production.
