Sarah Ghazanfari developed foundational infrastructure for molecular dynamics and materials science simulations in the AdvancedResearchComputing/examples repository. She established reproducible environments for LAMMPS and NAMD by provisioning input files, parameters, and cluster submission scripts, streamlining HPC workflows and reducing manual setup. In a subsequent phase, Sarah overhauled VASP integration by removing deprecated configurations and introducing a comprehensive scaffold with job submission scripts and essential VASP input files. Her work, leveraging Bash scripting and domain expertise in computational chemistry, enabled scalable, end-to-end simulation workflows. The depth of her contributions improved reproducibility, accelerated onboarding, and standardized experimental setups for research teams.
