About
"The smartphone is one of the most empowering and intimate objects in our lives. Yet most of us have little say in how the device is made, what it does, and how it looks. And 5 billion of us don't have one. What if you could make thoughtful choices about exactly what your phone does, and use it as a creative canvas to tell your own story? Introducing Project Ara. Designed exclusively for 6 billion people." - Google ATAP LeafLabs leads the Project Ara firmware development, working both in-house and managing other groups. We are currently hiring firmware developers to work with us on Project Ara. Our other projects include a high density electrophysiology system capable of capturing, processing, and storing real-time data from 1000 neurons-- an order of magnitude more than any existing system. LeafLabs was founded in 2009 by a group of friends from MIT on the premise that science happens not just in shiny labs, but also on cluttered workbenches in musty basements everywhere.
