The XXII Meeting of the Brazilian Materials Research Society (B-MRS), held from September 29th to October 3rd, 2024, gathered the global materials science community at the Blue Med Convention Center in Santos, São Paulo, Brazil. Organized by the B-MRS and its committee, the event offered a dynamic forum on recent advancements and future directions in materials science and technology, welcoming participants from academia and industry alike.

Our Research Group Highlights:

• Oral Presentation: Andre Fonseca presented a talk titled “Tracking Halide Exchange in 3D/QD Heterojunctions,” exploring the mechanisms of halide dynamics in these complex interfaces.

• Poster Presentations: Notably, Gabriela was awarded the Best Poster Prize at the symposium (AC03 – Nanoscale Imaging of Heterogeneous and Hierarchical Materials with Synchrotron Radiation) and also received the prestigious RSC Poster Prize for her work on “Influence of Co-solvent and Methylammonium Chloride Additive on Low-Dimensional Perovskites for Solar Cells” highlighting the group’s impactful contributions to the field.

We extend our congratulations to all participants and look forward to further collaborations and discoveries sparked by this inspiring meeting.
