Whole–Angle MEMS Gyroscopes – Challenges and Opportunities: IEEE Press Series on Sensors

Doruk Senkal, PhD, has been working on the development of Inertial Navigation Technologies for Augmented and Virtual Reality applications at Facebook since 2018. Before joining Facebook, he was developing MEMS Inertial Sensors for mobile devices at TDK Invensense. He received his Ph.D. degree in 2015 from University of California, Irvine, with a focus on MEMS Coriolis Vibratory Gyroscopes. Dr. Senkal 's research interests, represented in over 20 international conference papers, 9 peer-reviewed journal papers, and 16 patent applications, encompass all aspects of MEMS inertial sensor development, including sensor design, device fabrication, algorithms, and control.

Andrei M. Shkel, PhD, has been on faculty at the University of California, Irvine since 2000, and served as a Program Manager in the Microsystems Technology Office of DARPA. His research interests are reflected in over 250 publications, 40 patents, and 2 books. Dr. Shkel has been on a number of editorial boards, including Editor of IEEE/ASME JMEMS and the founding chair of the IEEE Inertial Sensors. He was awarded the Office of the Secretary of Defense Medal for Exceptional Public Service in 2013, and the 2009 IEEE Sensors Council Technical Achievement Award. He is the IEEE Fellow.
