Dr. Göran Stemme

Biography

Göran Stemme received his M.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering in 1981 and his Ph.D. degree in Solid State Electronics in 1987 from Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden. He joined the Department of Solid State Electronics at Chalmers University in 1981 and became an associate professor in 1990, leading a silicon sensor research group. Stemme was appointed professor at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in 1991 and became the head of the Division of Micro Nanosystems within the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. His research focuses on micro nanotechnology systems, which encompass a broad range of techniques and applications including medical technology, microfluidics, optical applications, wafer-level packaging, and device integration, with successful commercialization of results. He served as a member of the International Steering Committee for the IEEE Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) conference series from 1995 to 2001 and was the General Co-Chair of the conference in 1998. Stemme has been a Senior Editor for the IEEE Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems from 1997 to 2022 and a member of the Editorial Board for the Royal Society of Chemistry journal "Lab On Chip" from 2000 to 2005. He is also the Subject Editor for the journal "Microsystems & Nanoengineering" published by Nature. Over his career, he has published more than 430 research journal and conference papers, with his work earning over 11,000 citations and an h-index of 56 according to Scopus. Stemme has delivered invited keynote plenary talks at international conferences and holds more than 50 published patents. He is a Fellow of IEEE and a member of both the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences. In 2021, he received the IEEE Robert Bosch Micro Nano Electro Mechanical Systems Award for his pioneering contributions to MEMS sensors, especially in medical applications, and for his dedication to transferring MEMS technology to industry and society.
