Multi-Functional, Scalable and Controllable Nano-Structured Surfaces

在过去的十年中，纳米技术的发展使能源、医药、健康、生物技术、环境和安全等许多领域受益并将继续发生革命性的变化。然而，现有纳米结构的性能、漫长的制造时间和成本限制了这一领域的发展。纳米技术出现背后的机制是我目前研究先进纳米结构和功能化材料的核心。我研究纳米技术的创新，以开发响应性和可编程的材料，这些材料可以显示、连接、感知、处理、存储和存档信息，将世界表面转化为界面、屏幕和“物联网”，并重新配置人机交互的本质。这种用于信息显示、存储和计算的形式和材料的融合是我提出的研究计划的背景，该计划侧重于研究新的先进纳米结构和用于新设备、系统和织物的创新制造工艺。

During the last decade, the boost of nanotechnology has benefited and continues to revolutionize many fields such as energy, medicine, health, biotechnology, the environment, and security. However, the performance of available nanostructures, and the lengthy fabrication time and costs are limiting progress in this field. The mechanisms behind the emergence of nanotechnology are at the heart of my current research on advanced nano-structures and functionalised materials. I research innovations in nanotechnology to develop responsive and programmable materials that display, connect, sense, process, store, and archive information to transform the surfaces of the world into interfaces, screens, and an “Internet of Things,” and reconfigure the nature of human-computer interaction. This fusion of the form and materials used for information display, storage, and computation is the setting of my proposed research program that focuses on the investigation of new advanced nanostructures and innovative fabrication processes for novel devices, systems, and fabric.
