Eric R. Fossum is a Professor at the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth and coordinates the Ph.D. Innovation Program. He co-founded and led Photobit (sold to Micron and spun out as Aptina) and also was CEO of Siimpel. For the invention of the CMOS active-pixel image sensor “camera-on-a-chip” at JPL/Caltech he was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame. He received the NASA Exceptional Achievement Medal and the IEEE Andrew Grove Award. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, a Charter Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors, a Fellow Member of the IEEE, and a member of OSA and SMTPE. He co-founded the IISS and was its 1st President. He holds over 150 US patents and has published over 260 papers. For fun, he and his wife operate a hobby farm in New Hampshire. |

Johannes Solhusvik received his PhD in 1996 on CCD and CMOS Image Sensor (CIS) design at ISAE, Toulouse, France. After which he joined ABB (Norway). In ‘99 he established Photobit (Norway) CIS design center which became Micron (Norway) in ‘01. He expatriated during 2004-06 to Micron’s CIS HQ in USA, managing design teams in USA, Japan, UK and Norway. He then repatriated to focus on CIS R&D. In 2009 he joined the Micron spin-off, Aptina (Norway), where he served as Fellow and CTO of Automotive BU until ‘12 when he joined OmniVision (Norway) as General Manager with focus on product design and chip architecture. Dr. Solhusvik is IISS board member and TPC member, and has served as TPC member of ISSCC from ‘05 to ‘11, and of ESSCIRC from’11 until present. |
