In addition, her expertise extends to emerging areas such as quantum sensor and computing technology, underscoring her forward-thinking approach and adaptability. We’re delighted to recognize Dr. Fitzgerald as Executive of the Year at the 2024 Best of Sensors Awards.”

“At the founding of my company, I chose to develop a multitude of emerging MEMS-based technologies into exciting products on behalf of our clients — rather than make an all-in bet on a single product,” said Dr. Fitzgerald, founder and CEO, AMFitzgerald. “I’m gratified that my choice of career path continues to advance scientific achievement, technology development and commercial production-readiness in MEMS and sensors. Having attended this conference over the past 15 years, I’m deeply honored to receive this recognition from the Best of Sensors Awards committee.”
