Gerhard M. Sessler (born 15 February 1931 in Rosenfeld, Baden-Württemberg, Germany)[1] is a German inventor and scientist. He is Professor emeritus at the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology of the Technische Universität Darmstadt.

Together with

Bell Laboratories in 1962 and together with Dietmar Hohm the silicon microphone in 1983.[3]

Life

First patent on foil electret microphone by G. M. Sessler and J. E. West (pages 1 to 3)

From 1950 to 1959, Sessler studied physics at Universities of

Professor emeritus
at the same university.

He holds over 100 international

patents, among them 18 US-patents. The first one, US 3,118,022, with James E. West, was issued on 14 January 1964.[4]

Sessler is the author/editor of several books on electrets and acoustics. In 2014, together with Ning Xiang, he co-edited a memorial book on Manfred R. Schroeder published by Springer.[5] Furthermore, he is well known for his over 300 scientific papers in prestigious international magazines and journals.

Gerhard Sessler was married to Renate Sessler (now deceased) and has three children: Cornelia, Christine and Gunther.
