We are excited to announce the recipients of the "Materials and Interfaces Outstanding Presentations by Young Investigators" awards, presented at the ACS Spring Meeting 2025. Sponsored by the journal Materials and Interfaces. The awards recognize the exceptional contributions of assistant professors, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students to the study of interfacial processes in electrocatalysis.
Awardees:
1. Yao Yang
Assistant Professor from Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability Faculty Fellow, Cornell University
Presentation: Operando Probing Dynamic Migration of Copper Carbonyl under CO2 Reduction
2. Megan Jackson
Assistant Professor from Department of Chemistry, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Presentation：Electric fields at gas-liquid interfaces
3. MegKelly
Graduate Student from the Schreier Group, Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, University of Wisconsin-Madison
Presentation: Understanding the interfacial origins of performance enhancements seen under rapidly alternating polarity (rAP) in organic electrosynthesis
These awardees were selected based on the innovation and impact of their research, as well as their potential to significantly advance the field. The selection process was led by the symposium organizers, in collaboration with Prof. Younan Xia, Editor-in-Chief of Materials and Interfaces.
We extend our warmest congratulations to the awardees and eagerly look forward to their continued contributions to the scientific community. Their pioneering work in understanding the interfacial process of electrocatalysis exemplifies the cutting-edge advancements in this dynamic field, and we are proud to support their achievements.
Kind regards,
Materials and Interfaces Editorial Office
