Smart Sensors for Automotive Applications

Sherif Saleh

Sherif Saleh was born in Cairo, Egypt, in 1976. He received his BSc and the MSc. in Electrical Engineering, with emphasis on Electronics and Communications in 1999 and 2002, with honor degree, and the Dr.-Eng. degree from the IMTEK, Freiburg, Germany, in 2012, with highest honors.

In 2000, he joined the Electronics Research Institute, ERI, Cairo, Egypt, where he was working as a research assistant in the field of low power analog circuit designs. From 2002-2003, he has been with the company of Mettler-Toledo, Zürich, Switzerland, where he has working in the field of VLSI. From 2003-2004, he was as a system and analog designer by the company of MEMS-Cap in Cairo, Egypt, where he was working in the field of analog circuits for low-voltage, low-power- RF applications. At the end of 2004, he moved to the center of electronics engineering research Institute, CEERI, Pilani, India, where he was working in the field of Microsensors. In 2005, he moved to the Institute of Microsystem Technology, IMTEK, Albert-Ludwigs-University, as a senior analog designer, and for working toward the Ph.D. degree in the field of RF wireless receivers for medical implantable communication systems.

From March 2012 until Mai 2014, he was a Posdoc at the chair of microelectronics, IMTEK at the University of Freiburg. In the period from June 2014 until August 2017, Dr. Saleh joined the ATLAS- detector (CERN-Switzerland) team, as a technical lead. Since September 2017, Dr. Saleh is a senior analog designer in the company of ELMOS Semiconductor, specialized in automotive systems. From 2021-2022, he was working as a consultant in automotive area. Now he is a Technical project manager at the Uni-Freiburg in Germany. Dr. Saleh' main research interests include analog-signal circuit design, RF wireless transceiver circuits for biomedical applications and analog circuit designs for automotive systems.
