Two Down, One to Go
The second one of our vacuum chambers was leak tested by a couple of our students (from left to right, Zain, Berta). The test went well and it’s now found its home in the lab!
Minhal’s Birthday!
This week in our group meeting, we celebrated Minhal’s birthday!
Happy birthday, Minhal!
New Semester – New Graduate Students
We are excited to start the new semester with two new graduate students! We welcomed Minhal Gardezi and previous rotation student Roberta Candela to our group in early January.
Laser Installation
The laser has been installed and now our students are ready to be trained. Thank you Adam for the installation!
Ready for Laser Installation
With the optical tables installed and ready to go, we were able to finally take the laser out of the box and get it up on the table. The next step is to have the laser company, Coherent, send a laser technician to do the installation.
The Tables Have Finally Arrived!
After some delays, our optical tables have finally arrived. They are fully installed and ready for the optics!
Welcome, graduate student Minhal Gardezi!
Minhal will join the group this coming Spring semester.
In the Spring of 2020 she graduated from Wellesley College, where she studied Physics and Computer Science. She completed her undergraduate thesis and post-graduate research fellowship in Dr. Jenny Hoffman’s group at Harvard University.
Dinner with our Growing Group!
With a third undergraduate, a rotation student, and another graduate student to join in the spring, our larger group had one more dinner this semester while Uwe was still in town at the Vintage Brewing Company!
We missed Noah at the dinner and hope that he feels better soon!
Welcome, rotation student Roberta Candela!
Roberta Candela is a rotating biophysics student who most recently was working in a bioengineering lab. She recently graduated from Arizona State with a B.S in Biophysics and was a member of Dr. Scott Sayres’ Ultrafast Laser lab. During rotations she will be exploring how best to apply physics to the fields of biology, chemistry, or physics.
