Hugo França, PhD

Hugo França designs the electronics that transform microvolt-level brain signals into clean digital data. His expertise spans the entire signal acquisition chain—from low-noise analog front-ends and high-precision analog-to-digital conversion to digital signal processing and high-speed data transmission. He is a key architect of ABILITY's laser-based optical link, enabling real-time, lossless wireless transmission of neural data through the skin—one of the platform's defining innovations. Hugo holds a PhD in microelectronics.
