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.****My work on nano-optical surfaces, screens, and interfaces is part of a longer technological approach to image-making. I aim to situate my proposed novel strategies of nanofabrication within overlapping material investigations into biomimicry, information technologies, media, and art-making processes, using programmable nano-structured material as a point of contact across disciplines. I will collaborate with biomedical and new media researchers to fully understand and explore the potential of this new class of surfaces and their functionalities for seamless sensing, connecting, data storage and archiving. I will focus on the field of nano-optics that is concerned with the nano-scale interaction between light and matter and, as with any optical venture, with expansive questions of vision and perception. My program proposed here will contribute to two key areas of active research: improving the brightness of optical devices and the elimination of viewing confusion that is heavily dependent on viewing angle; and simultaneously incorporating high density data storage and sensing capabilities into optical fabric. Such fabric will be able to connect with other devices, and the proposed nano-media surfaces incorporated into other material systems.**

在过去的十年中，纳米技术的发展使能源、医学、健康、生物技术、环境和安全等许多领域受益并继续发生革命性的变化，然而，现有纳米结构的性能以及漫长的制造时间和成本却受到限制。纳米技术出现背后的机制是我目前对先进纳米结构和功能化材料研究的核心，我研究纳米技术的创新，以开发可显示、连接、感知、处理和存储的响应式和可编程材料。 ，并存档信息将世界的表面转变为界面、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就是背景。我提出的研究计划的重点是研究新型先进纳米结构以及新型设备、系统和织物的创新制造工艺。****我在纳米光学表面、屏幕和界面方面的工作是长期技术方法的一部分我的目标是图像制作。将我提出的纳米制造新策略置于仿生学、信息技术、媒体和艺术制作过程的重叠材料研究中，使用可编程纳米结构材料作为跨学科的接触点，我将与生物医学和新媒体研究人员充分合作。了解和探索这种新型表面及其在无缝传感、连接、数据存储和归档方面的功能的潜力，我将重点关注与光和物质之间的纳米级相互作用有关的纳米光学领域，作为对于任何光学企业，我在此提出的计划将有助于积极研究的两个关键领域：提高光学设备的亮度和消除严重依赖于视角的观看混乱；将高密度数据存储和传感功能集成到光学织物中。这种织物将能够与其他设备连接，并将提议的纳米介质表面纳入其他材料系统中。**
