As part of our current research, we are developing low-cost nanomanufacturing of nanostructures with the immediate goal of enabling affordable nano-enabled filters. We are also exploring sensors and monitoring systems that are easy to deploy and maintain — bringing safe water to communities without costly infrastructure and laboratories.
AzulNanoTec.org is a forthcoming nonprofit focused on translating nanoscience into practical, low-cost water technologies. Our approach prioritizes manufacturability, reliability, and affordability so communities can deploy and sustain solutions without extensive infrastructure.
Antimicrobial and adsorptive media targeting pathogens, heavy metals, and organics. Modular cartridges for household and community use.
Electrochemical and optical nanosensors for turbidity, pH, conductivity, and specific contaminants — built for field calibration and phone readout.
Open-source kits with LoRa/Cellular options and dashboards for real-time water safety monitoring, enabling rapid response and maintenance.
Designs optimized for small-scale production using widely available processes and materials to keep costs low and supply chains resilient.
We publish reference designs and testing protocols so communities and partners can build, validate, and maintain systems locally.
We work with NGOs, utilities, and universities to validate performance, train technicians, and scale deployments responsibly.
