Sensor Systems Lead. Designs the hydrophone chains, pressure hulls and calibration routines behind the Bathys array.

Extended biography

Mateo Ferreira owns the instrument layer of the Bathys platform. He came to ocean telemetry from aerospace test engineering, where he spent eight years qualifying pressure sensors and acoustic arrays for high-altitude platforms, and brought with him an obsession with drift, latency budgets and honest error bars.

At Bathys he leads the team that designs, calibrates and recovers the sensor buoys and moorings. His articles cover hardware decisions, calibration methodology and the engineering trade-offs behind a 12 ms acoustic link at 6,000 m.
