Michael J. Pont

Dr Michael J. Pont was awarded a BSc degree (in Electronics and Electrical Engineering) by the University of Glasgow (UK) and a PhD (in Computer Science) by the University of Southampton (UK). He is the author of several successful books and more than 100 technical papers: he is named inventor / co-inventor on a number of patents and patent applications.

Michael has been working in the field of time-triggered (TT) embedded systems for more than 20 years. He has helped numerous companies to create successful TT designs. Many of these designs have been produced in compliance with international safety standards and guidelines (including IEC 61508, ISO 26262 and DO-178).

Michael began this work on TT systems in the academic sector, latterly as Professor of Embedded Systems Engineering at the University of Leicester (UK).

At the end of 2013, Michael left the university sector and founded SafeTTy Systems Ltd.

Michael enjoys writing books. He is currently completing work on the second edition of "The Engineering of Reliable Embedded Systems". This book will be published in October 2016.
