Description
25 years ago, Sensirion was founded by Moritz Lechner and me as a spin-off company of ETH Zurich. What started with two physicists and two measurement parameters is today a company that employs more than 1'200 people worldwide (700 of them in Switzerland). Around 100 of the employees originally studied physics. Today we offer around 15 sensor families which have many different variants covering a multitude of physical and chemical sensing applications. Every year Sensirion produces and sells more than 200 million sensors. Each sensor is individually calibrated. This means, that we “do a lot of physics”, before we can sell our products.
In my presentation, I will introduce individual measuring parameters and measuring principles and use some examples to show where physicists contribute to our success.
