Sarah Ghazanfari developed foundational infrastructure for molecular dynamics and materials science simulations in the AdvancedResearchComputing/examples repository. Over two months, she delivered a scalable MD simulation environment for LAMMPS and NAMD, automating input provisioning, parameter setup, and HPC job submission using Bash and shell scripting. Her work emphasized reproducibility and streamlined onboarding by validating end-to-end workflows and reducing manual configuration. In June, Sarah overhauled VASP integration, replacing deprecated configurations with a robust scaffold and ready-to-run examples, further supporting reproducible research. The depth of her contributions established standardized, maintainable workflows for computational chemistry teams deploying simulations across high-performance computing resources.
June 2025 monthly summary for AdvancedResearchComputing/examples: Delivered a major VASP integration overhaul, removing deprecated VASP configuration and introducing a complete VASP scaffold, a job submission script, and essential VASP config files. This work stabilizes the VASP workflow, enables reproducible runs, and accelerates onboarding for researchers deploying VASP across compute backends. Key commits enabled this work included deleting the legacy vasp directory and adding the new VASP artifacts: 358f80b67cb49bdd0daafe19cd259450513a87db; c431ef9734c5a89ee312a5bbc59aaf1eab619149; a890f4a16c6679de7260af29780b298cfef9b53a; 2ee6266039dafc2c2046f8ebed437f438387adab.
