EMCODE was founded by Shrenik Deliwala in November 2020 with the vision of revolutionizing spectral sensors by providing a photon-efficient, low-power, scalable platform rapidly adaptable to diverse market needs. This innovative concept integrates insights from physics, photonics, analog electronics, and signal processing. Recognizing the potential, Missael joined Emcode in 2021, contributing his deep engineering expertise to make the idea a reality.
We have successfully demonstrated our calibration-free spectral-sensing technology with ultra-high SNR at competitive price points. Our device has been successfully used by strategic customers.
We are excited that Analog Devices founder Ray Stata, a true visionary of the semiconductor industry, has recently invested in our vision.
