Hermann Dürr
hdurr@slac.stanford.edu, Senior Research Scientist of PULSE Institute
An expert in the intriguing field of femtomagnetism, Herrman joined the Stöhr group in Jan., 2010.
Hendrik Ohldag
http://www.stanford.edu/~hohldag, Staff Scientist of SSRL
In charge of the brand new STXM beamline at SSRL BL13-1. The instrument is currently being commissioned. Hendrik is also the daddy to two Aussie cattle dogs, JoJo and Jolanda.

Andreas Scherz
scherz@slac.stanford.edu, Staff Scientist of SIMES
Father of three from the city of Berlin. Project leader the coherent scattering and lensless imaging experiments in the group. Currently also care-taker of the SSRL coherent
scattering beamline: SSRL BL13-3.

Björn Bräuer
bbj@stanford.edu, Post-doc
After finishing Ph.D. in Germany working on magnetic molecules, Björn
arrived with the expertise in both organic materials and magnetism. He is currently investigating
candidate organic materials for organic photovotaics and electronics.
Suman Hossain
hossain@slac.stanford.edu, Post-doc
Finished his Ph.D. in University of British Columbia working on strongly correlated materials and high T-c super conducters, Suman started his journey in the U.S. with the goal of developing novel X-ray techniques for investigating these very interesting material properties.
Mark Burkhardt
markb2@stanford.edu, Graduate Student in Applied Physics
Mark is using x-ray techniques to studying the microscopic magnetic properties of materials that exhibit colossal magnetoresistance. He's originally from Massachusetts and attended Williams College before coming to Stanford. When not in the lab, he enjoys training for and competing in triathlons and camping.

Ramon Rick
rrick@stanford.edu, Graduate Student in Applied Physics
Ramon studied lensless x-ray microscopy, particularly the spatial coherence and intensity required to advance the x-ray microscopy resolution barrier towards 10 nanometers. His recent research project addresses the much debated demagnetization mechanism of magnetic thin films on femtosecond timescales after a laser pulse exposure. When not in the lab, Ramon enjoys working on a small private equity start-up called Frisco Capital or teaching students to fly a C172 at Stanford Flying Club..

David Bernstein
dpb176@stanford.edu, Graduate Student in Applied Physics
Loves the california outdoors so much that he became the president of the Stanford Redwood Outdoor Club. Now a certified EMT, he brings extra sense of safety to the ever safer SLAC work environment.

Diling Zhu
www.stanford.edu/~zutee, Graduate Student in Applied Physics
Get in touch with Diling if you find problems viewing this site. He's the designer and care taker of this web site.

Benny Wu
bennywu@stanford.edu, Graduate Student in Applied Physics
Canadian, his younger brother Teddy is a very good table tennis player so Benny certainly inherited part of the skills which is enough to dominate the Stanford campus. Like every boy who grew up in British Columbia, he's also an avid fan of the Vancouver Canucks.
Benny went totally off trail at Crater Lake National Park.
Roopali Kukreja
roopalik@stanford.edu, Graduate Student in Material Science and Engineering
Went to college at the renowned I.I.T. in Bombay (why is it called Mumbai now?), she joined the group in the spring of 2009.

Tianhan Wang
wangth@stanford.edu, Graduate Student in Material Science and Engineering
The second U. Mich. boy in our group, sure Han will be thrilled when Bill comes back to SLAC! Go Blue!

Cat Graves
cgraves@stanford.edu, Graduate Student in Applied Physics
Cat joined the group last summer, and is becoming a key member of our coherent imaging team. She's officially in charge of the x-ray cameras of several projects that involves experiments using synchrotron light and the x-ray free electron lasers.
