Hugo can be used to create an author page that displays the author's name, bio, and list of articles. To achieve this, a taxonomy called "author" needs to be created in the site config.toml, and metadata for each author is stored in a directory under content/authors. An authors template is then created using a list.html template to display information about the author and their posts, with an optional terms.html template used to render the list of authors. Finally, the authors can be added to the front matter of posts, allowing additional information about the authors to be displayed on the post page.
