class E power amplifier); Prof. Phil
Krein (University of Illinois, UrbanaChampaign and president of the IEEE
Power Electronics Society (PELS)
from 1999 to 2000); Neil Rasmussen
(cofounder of APC); the late Ervin
Lyon (cofounder of APC); Peter Wood;
Bob White (formerly of DEC/AT&T
Bell Labs and now with Embedded
Power Labs); Vladimir Brunstein
(power electronics consultant); Gary
Mook; Michael Hoff (engineering manager at APC, now at A123/NEC); Prof.
Thomas G. Wilson (Duke University
and past president of PELS from 1991
to 1992); Pierre A. Thollot (NASA and
past president of PELS from 1989 to
1990); Prof. Harry A. Owen (Duke University); the late Rudy Severns (consultant); and William (Trey) Burns
(retired and president of PELS from
1983 to 1986). "All of these people had
an influence, some more than others,
by virtue of discussions about various

circuits, their possibilities, drawbacks,
etc.," noted Landsman.
An ardent believer in solar power
and saving energy, Landsman used
solar thermal energy and off-peak
electricity, stored in a hot water energy storage system, to heat his residence until ten years ago when the
cost of electricity became uneconomical. An IEEE Member since 1966, and
a Life Member now, he has been a Registered Professional Engineer for the
state of Massachusetts since 1971.
Landsman has also been a licensed
amateur radio operator since 1952. In
keeping his promise, Landsman continues to give back to society, fund
engineering projects in educational
institutions, and train young engineers to become problem solvers of
tomorrow. In Kassakian's words,
"Effacing, unassuming, unpretentious,
and generous, Manny is an unsung
hero of our profession."
