Gabriele Schrag

Prof. Gabriele Schrag holds the Professorship of Microsensors and Actuators at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), within the TUM School of Computation, Information and Technology. Her research focuses on MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems), including microsensors, actuators, and their applications in acoustics, microfluidics, and bioengineering. She has pioneered work in virtual prototyping for system-level modeling to enhance device robustness and performance.

Education:

• PhD (summa cum laude) from TUM on 'Modeling coupled effects in microsystems'
• Habilitation in sensor systems technology (2018)
• Acting head of the Chair of Technical Electrophysics (2018-2023)

Research emphasizes acoustic MEMS transducers, electrohydrodynamic printing, and physics-based modeling. Notable projects include developing piezoelectric MEMS microphones with corrugated membranes and integrated micropump systems. Awards include the Bavarian Prize for Good Teaching (2021) and Eurosensors Fellow Award (2019).

Her work bridges virtual prototyping with real-world applications, addressing challenges in miniaturization, energy efficiency, and sensor integration for medical and industrial systems.
