Joana Neto
Lead Sensors Engineer at Atlas
Lisbon, Portugal
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoana Neto is a Lead Sensors Engineer and biomedical researcher with 10 years of experience developing micro- and nanotechnology-enabled (bio)sensors and neural interfaces. Her work bridges materials science, neuroscience and microfabrication—spanning extracellular electrophysiology, flexible transparent electrode arrays, and rapid microfluidic diagnostics for circulating tumor DNA. She has led multidisciplinary projects and student supervision across institutions including Atlas, FCT NOVA, Champalimaud and the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre, and is author of 10 publications (H-index 7, 310 citations). Joana’s unique strength is experimentally interrogating what extracellular signals truly represent, pairing device fabrication with rigorous validation to push large-scale, high-density neural recording forward. She combines hands-on microfabrication skills (e.g., DLW and Parylene circuitry) with a track record of translating tools that enable both fundamental neuroscience and translational brain–machine interface applications. Based in Lisbon, she also actively mentors students and engages in public science outreach.
