Elio

One optical core that computes on the light, reconfigures in real time, and is tuned by a learning system, adapting to what you need to measure, across domains.

Elio was founded by a multidisciplinary team of researchers and engineers from the fields of optics, biology, and AI. We are focused on making scientific insight faster, more scalable, and more native to the physical world.
