Biography:

Remco J. Wiegerink received the M.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands, in 1988 on the subject of a fully integrated ultra low frequency low-pass filter for offset canceling in integrated audio amplifiers. In 1992 he received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering at the same university on the subject of MOS translinear circuits. Between 1992 and 1995 he was with the Applied Physics department of the University of Twente, where he was engaged in the design of a superconducting flash analog-to-digital converter with GHz sampling frequency. In 1995 he joined the Transducer Science and Technology (TST) group. Since then his research has focused on mechanical microsensors, electronic interfacing of sensors, and packaging. Highlights include a silicon load cell with distributed capacitive readout, distributed thermal flow sensors using resistor arrays, an RF power sensor based on sensing the electrical force between the signal line and a suspended electrode, and flow sensors based on the flow sensing hairs of crickets. Remco Wiegerink is (co-)author of two books (“Analysis and Synthesis of MOS Translinear Circuits”, and “Mechanical Microsensors”), co-author of several book chapters, and author or co-author of about 100 journal and conference papers.
