About
Dylan McReynolds is a leading figure in synchrotron instrumentation and automated materials characterization, with a focus on developing high-throughput experimental platforms for soft matter and thin-film research. His most notable contribution is the design and implementation of a robotic grazing-incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering (GIWAXS) system at the Advanced Light Source’s SAXS/WAXS beamline, which integrates a UR5e robotic arm, a helium-purged sample chamber, and custom data acquisition routines. This work, published in 2025, has already garnered attention with 3 citations, reflecting its immediate impact on the field. McReynolds’ innovation enables rapid, automated thin-film analysis, dramatically increasing experimental throughput and reproducibility. His achievements include creating a web-based interface that simplifies user interaction, making advanced synchrotron techniques more accessible to the broader research community. By bridging robotics and X-ray scattering, McReynolds is accelerating discoveries in organic electronics, photovoltaics, and nanostructured materials, positioning him as a key contributor to next-generation characterization methods.
