We are excited to announce the recipients of the "Materials and Interfaces Outstanding Presentations by Young Investigators" awards, sponsored by the journal Materials and Interfaces at the ACS Fall Meeting 2024. These awards recognize the exceptional contributions of emerging researchers in the field of nanoparticle-mediated chemical transformations.

Awardees:

1. Hawi Nyiera
   Graduate Student, University of Connecticut
   Presentation: CsPbBr₃ Perovskite Nanoplatelets Surface Functionalization with Chiral Anionic Ligands and Silica Shells
2. Zhenyang Liu
   Postdoctoral Researcher, Brown University
   Presentation: Synthesis and Applications of Two-Dimensional Lead-Free Double Perovskite Nanoplatelets
3. Jiaqi Yu
   Postdoctoral Researcher, Northwestern University
   Presentation: Engineered Interfaces for Heterostructured Intermetallic Nanomaterials

These outstanding individuals were selected for their innovative research and potential to advance the field. The selection was managed by the symposium organizers—Prof. Wenyu Huang, Prof. Yugang Sun, and Prof. Jing Zhao—along with Prof. Younan Xia, Editor-in-Chief of Materials and Interfaces.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to the awardees and look forward to their continued contributions to the scientific community. Their work represents the forefront of nanoparticle-mediated chemical transformations, and we are proud to support their achievements.

Kind regards,

Materials and Interfaces Editorial Office
