Poster prize for Jyoti

Jyoti received a poster prize at the 21st Zsigmondy Colloquium 2026 for her poster entitled “Kinetic Monte Carlo Simulations for Twinned Nanoparticle Growth and Facet-Selective Etching.” Congratulations!

Her work uses kinetic Monte Carlo simulations to study how metal nanoparticles grow and evolve at the atomic scale. The poster focused on the formation of twinned nanoparticle structures and high-index facets, which are relevant because such defect-rich and surface-structured materials can exhibit enhanced catalytic and functional properties.
