As the semester comes to a close, we take one more group outing before everyone goes off for the summer! Thank you all again for another wonderful academic year!
Zain Abhari was invited to give a talk at the SACLA’s 2024 User Meeting in March. Her talk was a part of the Introduction to High Intensity X-ray Science session. Congratulations, Zain!
This week in our group meeting, we celebrated Muneeza and Minhal’s birthdays! Happy birthday to you both!
Our collaborator, Lars Pettersson, visited us all the way from Stockholm University for a week. We bid him farewell with dinner! Thank you for visiting, Lars!
This week, Professor Bergmann hosted the colloquium speaker, TK Sham. TK visited us all the way from Western University in Ontario to share how we can use synchrotrons to study some of the first kinds photographs, daguerreotypes!
Mikaela joined the group in Spring 2024. She is majoring in Physics and Astrophysics, and is excited to learn more about optics!
Varun Mapara is a joint postdoc with the Bergmann, Kawasaki, and Xiao labs at UW-Madison as part of our MRSEC collaboration. Varun specializes in ultrafast spectroscopy and the characterization of novel materials in high magnetic fields. We are all excited to have him as a part of the MRSEC/X-FAST team!
Zain Abhari is having lots of fun at SACLA in Japan, while working on projects related to nonlinear x-ray optics! Pictured below is Zain Abhari and her team: Gota Yamaguchi, Ichiro Inoue, and Yuichi Inubushi next to one of their projects.
During her Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship (SULI), Muneeza worked with Zachary Wolf, a lead scientist at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. In her work, she helped with the preparations for the magnetic measurements of the new superconducting undulators to be built at SLAC. The great work she did was published as an LCLS Technical Note, a …
