The IEEE Sensors Council focuses on the theory, design, fabrication, manufacturing, and application of devices for sensing and transducing physical, chemical, and biological phenomena, with an emphasis on the electronics, physics, and reliability aspects of sensors and integrated sensor-actuators. IEEE Sensors Council serves the sensor community with its well-recognized publications, conferences, and technical committees.
SystematIC design, Netherlands
Gert van der Horn received his MSc degree in Engineering at the Electronic Instrumentation group of the TU Delft, and a PhD degree for integration of calibration circuits with smart sensors and several international publications on that topic. He developed into a versatile circuit designer with an application-minded interest in integrated circuit (IC) development. In 1998, he co-founded SystematIC, an analog and mixed-signal IC design house. He supported IC design projects and IC product developments for a wide range of applications: from low-power sensor readout to high-power switch-mode-power-supply applications. All involved advanced analog and mixed-signal circuit design, and his work resulted in several patents in multiple domains. He continues to support SystematIC at key customer accounts, including those for magnetic and other sensor products.
