Recent advances in nanomaterials research have seen remarkable achievements and a demonstrated potential; however, widespread implementation of such materials into mainstream technology has not been realized. In particular, sustainable routes for synthesis of low-cost, environmentally benign nanomaterials has not been explored in significance. Our focus is to develop a research program which emphasizes three key elements of sustainable nanomaterials: 1) Low-cost nano-platforms for sensing, constructed both of and with high-abundance green materials 2) Creation of enhanced photovoltaics and catalysts using green design principles and 3) Biodegradable platforms for continual analyte monitoring in remote and / or resource-limited settings, with an aim to improve global health.

纳米材料研究的最新进展取得了显着的成就并展现了潜力；然而，此类材料尚未广泛应用于主流技术。特别是，合成低成本、环境友好的纳米材料的可持续途径尚未得到有意义的探索。我们的重点是开发一个研究计划，强调可持续纳米材料的三个关键要素：1）用于传感的低成本纳米平台，由大量绿色材料构建，2）使用绿色设计原则创建增强型光伏发电和催化剂3) 可生物降解的平台，用于在偏远和/或资源有限的环境中持续监测分析物，旨在改善全球健康。
