Maidenhead’s Peter Hurrell Recognised by Analog Devices with Company’s Highest Technical Honour

Hurrell was among three engineers awarded this honour by Analog Devices’ Chairman and Co-founder Ray Stata during the company’s 2011 General Technical Conference this past March in Boston, Mass.

Analog Devices Chief Technology Officer Sam Fuller, who sponsors the program, said, “The awarding of Fellow appointments recognises those who have attained the highest level of achievement in our technical community. Peter embodies the Fellows selection criteria that Analog Devices established more than 30 years ago due to his conspicuous innovation, contribution to the company’s commercial success and willingness to serve as a role model for his peers. The next generation of Analog Devices engineers will stand on the shoulders of leaders such as Peter.”
