Students from James Madison University intern with SIBYLS

Umanga Rupakheti, Sara Scanlan and Ruhi Rahman from Christopher Berndsen’s lab at James Madison University spent 4 weeks with the SIBYLS at LBNL working on their own research and helping around the wet lab this summer 2025. The students enjoyed hands-on experience collecting both SEC and HT-SAXS data and were mentored by SIBYLS Postdocs and beamline scientists. Their professor, Dr. Berndsen, is a long-time SIBLYS SAXS user and has been working with SAXS data for many years.
