Our group, Uwe, Ryan, and Zain (from left to right), visited Josh Vura-Weis’s (right) XUV lab at UIUC. The purpose of the visit was to learn and see what a functioning XUV lab was like, and to give inspiration as we continue to build our lab here at UWM!
Masoud Lazemi started his PhD under the supervision of Prof. Frank de Groot and Prof. Uwe Bergmann at Utrecht University in April 2021. He is an early-stage researcher (ESR) within the SMART-X Network and will be working on femtosecond XAS and RIXS of transition metal oxides using XFELs and XUV sources.
