Yutaka Nonomura

Biography

Yutaka Nonomura received Dr. degree in electronics from the Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan, in 1982. He joined Toyota Central Research and Development Laboratories Inc. in 1982 where he was engaged in research and development on sensors for automobiles. He studied about magnetic sensors of a torque sensor and a thin film magneto-impedance (MI) one, a semiconductor sensor for combustion pressure in an engine, micro sensors of a quartz rate gyro sensor and a semiconductor gyro one, an inertial force sensing system for partner robots, and a tactile sensor with a nerve network. Some of the results have been successfully commercialized. Since 2015, he is a professor of Sensing Systems Laboratory, Department of Mechatronics Engineering, Faculty of Science and Technology, Meijo University. Dr. Nonomura received the Research and Development Top 100 Selection Awards for Development of "the Combustion Pressure Sensor for the Automobile Engine," and "Magneto-Impedance Device for Automobile Detection (MIDAD)," respectively.
