Munir
Bannoura graduated in 1974 with a bachelors degree of science. He
immediately joined Burroughs Corporation as a product engineer. He
worked for the corporation in Plymouth, Michigan and Scotland,
United Kingdom. In 1978, he joined the National Institute of
Electricity and Electronics in Algeria, North Africa as a professor
of Electrical Engineering. In 1984, he joined Motorola Technical
Operations as a customer trainer and course developer and now
works for Freescale Semiconductor.
Amy
Dyson studied honors Computer Science at Texas A&M University, and
graduated from Chatham College with a degree in Computer Science and
English Literature. After graduating, Amy developed courses on
Motorola microprocessor and microcontrollers, and taught these
courses to customers worldwide. She later worked as an applications
designer for embedded systems. Amy left Motorola in July 1996 and
founded Andiamo Technologies, which specializes in training and in
translating complicated, technical information into plain English.
She's also written stories for Texas Music and Horns
Illustrated (a sports magazine for the University of Texas).
Richard
Soja graduated from Aberdeen University, Scotland in 1974 with a
degree in Engineering Science. He first worked on power supply and
stepper motor controller design at Burroughs Machines Limited in
Scotland, followed by 5 years at Hughes Microelectronics where he
worked on eeprom memories and developed digital and mixed signal
production test systems. For the next 20 years, Richard worked for
Motorola in Scotland and Austin Texas, primarily on industrial and
automotive microcontroller application and design, and contributed
to the architecture and design of the MPC5500 family. He continues
his microcontroller architecture role with Freescale Semiconductor.
Margaret
Frances received her master's degree in computer science from the
University of Minnesota in 1996. Since that time she has served as
project manager and business analyst in software development in
various industries including telecommunications and security.
Margaret came to understand and appreciate the eTPU after joining
her brother Andy Klumpp at ASH WARE Inc., as a contractor in 2003.
In that capacity she helped to write the eTPU programming course,
which is offered jointly by Freescale Semiconductor and ASH WARE. It
was through that project that she and Munir met, after which Munir
asked her to co-author eTPU Programming Made Easy.
Rudan
Bettelheim graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Electrical and
Electronic Engineering at the Polytechnic of Central London (now
Westminster University) in 1979, when he joined Motorola
Semiconductor in East Kilbride Scotland as a systems engineer.
There, he developed many microcontroller applications for customers.
In 1984 Rudan relocated to Munich Germany and in 1990 to Austin
Texas, always within the Microcontroller business of Motorola. Over
the years Rudan has worked in many different roles from design of
the MPC500 family, to applications engineering, systems engineering,
marketing, and tools product management. At the time of writing
Rudan is in systems engineering in the Consumer and Industrial
Operation of the Freescale Microcontroller Division. Rudan has been
awarded 5 patents for microcontroller design.
