Obituary
Last goodbye to Ernst Obermeier夽
We are sad that our colleague Prof. Dr. Ernst Obermeier passed away on July 30th, 2012. Ernst Obermeier graduated from the Technical University of Munich with a degree in Electrical Engineering. Then he joined the Fraunhofer Institute in Munich in 1977, where he pushed forward silicon sensors and polysilicon technology. Later he became Professor at the Technical University Berlin, joining the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department. He was the head of the Microsensor and Actuator Technology Center, where he achieved major impact in the field of silicon carbide sensors, micro hotplates based sensor concepts and aero-MEMS. His contributions in process technologies, in particular for the development of high temperature metallization and for the characterisation of functional sensing materials were of great value for the whole community.

Besides his strong engagement in the Sensors Conference in Nuremberg, he was a key person for the Transducers and Eurosensors conference series and a member of the Steering Committee of the Transducers Conference. In 2001 he was the general chair of the joint Transducers/Eurosensors in Munich. The sensors community lost a renowned scientist and researcher and an inspiring teacher; we all lost a reliable colleague and a sincere friend.
