Janusz Bryzek
Janusz Bryzek received his MSEE and Ph.D. from Warsaw University of Technology, Poland. He completed the Executive Management Program at Stanford University.
Janusz is considered as one of the pioneers of MEMS and Father of Sensors. He cofounded eleven Silicon Valley MEMS (micro-mechanical integrated circuits) companies: Sensym (now Honeywell), ICSensors (now Elmos/MSI), NovaSensor (now General Electric), Intelligent MicroSensor Technology (now Maxim), Transparent Networks (now Intel), InvenSense (public), LVSI (now Atmel), Jyve (now Fairchild Semiconductor), JB MEMS (active), TSensors Summit (active) and eXo Systems (active).
Bryzek has performed due diligence for top tier VC firms, including USVP, Mayfield, Benchmark, Morgenthaler and Panorama. He also worked as an advisor or Board member for over 40 startups.
In 1989 he was recognized as "Entrepreneur of the Year" by Arthur Young. In 1994 he was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award by Sensors Magazine and in 2003 by MANCEF.
Bryzek has published over 250 papers, wrote sections of 4 books, organized and chaired many international conferences. He authored 26 US patents and several patent applications. He started several sensor standardization efforts, including AAMI Disposable Blood Pressure Transducers, IEEE-1451 Smart Sensor Communication, and Trillion Sensors Initiative (www.TsensorsSummit.org).
Dr. Bryzek serves on several Advisory Boards including NSF Nanosystems Engineering Research Center for Advanced Self-Powered Systems of Integrated Sensors and Technologies and several start-ups. He is also a member of IEEE-MEMS Program Committee.
