Julian Gardner is Professor of Electronic Engineering in the School of Engineering at Warwick University. He is author or co-author of over 400 technical papers and patents as well as six technical books in the area of microsensors and machine olfaction. He is Series Editor for a books series by Wiley-VCH. He is a fellow of the IEE and senior member of the IEEE and has served on many advisory panels on sensors, e.g. for EPSRC, DTI and IEE Professional Network on Microsystems and Nanotechnology. His research interests include the modelling of silicon microsensors, chemical sensor array devices, biomimetic MEMS devices and electronic noses. He has worked with over 20 companies in the past 15 years developing commercial e-nose instruments and as a consultant for various companies. He is also Head of the Sensors Research Laboratory and Director of the Centre for Cognitive & Neural Systems. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering in 2006 and awarded the JJ Thomson Medal for Outstanding Achievement in Electronics by the Institute of Engineering & Technology in 2007.
