Alexander Bergmann
Biography
Alexander Bergmann is a distinguished academic and innovator in the field of emission measurement and sensor technology. His work has had far-reaching commercial and societal impacts, particularly in vehicle emissions standards. As a key expert of the UN-ECE particle measurement program, Bergmann has been instrumental in developing cleaner emission technologies for Europe. His contributions include creating one of the first non-volatile particle number measurement devices and a portable emission measurement system, both of which have been incorporated into legislation. Bergmann’s expertise in metrology has led to the development of crucial standards for emission measurement devices, with many countries adopting the standards he helped develop.
An IEEE Member, Bergmann is Head of Institute of Electrical Measurement and Sensor Systems, Graz University of Technology, Graz, Austria and is the 2025 recipient of the IEEE Joseph F. Keithley Award in Instrumentation and Measurement for "contributions to the field of pollution measurement and leadership in environmental sensing and emissions abatement."
