This week, Professor Bergmann hosted the colloquium speaker, Mark Hunter. Mark visited us all the way from SLAC National Accelerator Lab to share how we can use XFELs to study structural biology!
This week in our group meeting, we celebrated Ryan and Berta’s birthdays! Happy birthday to you both!
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!

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.
The laser has been installed and now our students are ready to be trained. Thank you Adam for the 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.
After some delays, our optical tables have finally arrived. They are fully installed and ready for the optics!
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.
