previously CMI postdoc at UTK, now postdoc at ORNL
CMI researchers from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, University of Tennessee Knoxville, and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory were involved with this highlight.
Innovation
Dayton Kizzire, a previous CMI postdoc at UTK, Knoxville, transitions to a postdoctoral position at the Spallation Neutron Source at ORNL.
Achievement
Using experiments, simulations, and AI, Dayton has developed a fully parallelized and integrated python workflow to train, test, and validate new interatomic potentials for high-throughput alloy development.
Significance and Impact
- Dayton’s expertise and interatomic potentials can be generalized to other intermetallic systems, particularly 4f electron systems.
- Dayton will continue to develop a library of interatomic potentials for Al-Ce-X alloys to gain insights into alloy property enhancement.
Hub Goal Addressed
Workforce development. Predictive Models for “Real” Materials. Increasing the Speed of Discovery and Integration
