Bio
Dayton Kizzire is a neutron scattering postdoc in the powder diffraction group of the Neutron Scattering Division (NSD) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). His research focuses on structure-property relationships and combining AI/ML and neutron scattering for atomic level structural studies for functional materials. His recent work includes the development of the XsymNet framework, which combines crystallographic group-theoretical methods, deep learning, and neutron/X-ray scattering to solve complicated phase transitions. Dayton is a member of the American Crystallographic Association (ACA) and is currently serving as the representative for neutron scattering postdocs at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS).
