A tremendous honor to participate as an Invited Speaker to the IMRC 2026 Symposia C7. Nanoalloys and Metal-Based Nano-Compounds: Advances in Synthesis, Applications, and Theory. A great opportunity to share our results and to honor the contributions of Dr. Miguel Jose-Yacaman to the community. This is very special for me, as I consider Miguel a great friend and one of the best mentors I have ever had.
