Maurizio Donna

I was born in Biella in 1973.

I have studied electronics at secondary school, then at the Politecnico of Torino, and finally, in 2004, I have taken my Master's degree at CEFRIEL. From those days I have worked as a freelance in Italy, expecially in project that using high-speed links (GbE, FC, SONET, SDH, etc...), or data transmission (modem, DVB, etc...). In 2005 I teach my first course as XILINX ATP in Italy.

My idea of work is first to grow in experience and knowledge, and then teach it to the others.

Maja Gordic

I was born in Novi Sad in 1981.

In 2008 I have graduated from the Faculty of Technical Sciences in Novi Sad, at the department of Microprocessor Electronics. My Master thesis was in the area of embedded system design using FPGAs.

My hobbies are sports and reading.

Bernhard Greissing

  • 1989 I started studying Electrical Engineering / Computer Technology at the Vienna University of Technology
  • 1996 together with a friend we established our own company for professional audio and broadcast engineering
  • 2003 the company changed it's focus so I left with all the engineering equipment which since
  • 2004 is housed at so-Logic

Currently I'm concentrating on circuit design and PCB layout of complex FPGA based systems

Areas of my expertise:

  • High-Speed Design / Signal Integrity, EMC
  • FPGA, CPLD Design
  • Multilayer, rigid-flex, HDI PCBs
  • CAD library development
  • Microcontroller / embedded systems
  • Analog (audio) design
  • Firmware (Assembler, C)
  • Mechanical Design (In-House CNC workshop)
  • Prototyping & rework

My motto:

Engineering is the art of making what you want from things you can get.

Herbert Groll

I was born in Mistelbach. I had my first experience with embedded systems with my RTLinux project at the HTL Hollabrunn. Now I'm embedded system designer. I connect the hardware world with the software world. By the way I study electronic engineering at the technical university of Vienna. There I can expand my experience in the areas embedded Linux, embedded design and logic design.
