Past Contributors

LAMMPS includes contributions from hundreds of people: this page recognizes package authors whose work deserves special mention, the team that designed and tested the original version of LAMMPS, and — in a chronological timeline — everybody who contributed a feature, command, or tool.


Special recognition

The following folks deserve special recognition. Many of the packages they have written are unique for an MD code and LAMMPS would not be as general-purpose as it is without their expertise and efforts.

  • Metin Aktulga (MSU), REAXFF package for C version of ReaxFF
  • Mike Brown (Nvidia), GPU and INTEL packages
  • Colin Denniston (U Western Ontario), LATBOLTZ package
  • Georg Ganzenmuller (EMI), MACHDYN and SPH packages
  • Andres Jaramillo-Botero (Caltech), EFF package for electron force field
  • Reese Jones (Sandia) and colleagues, ATC package for atom/continuum coupling
  • Christoph Kloss (DCS Computing), LIGGGHTS code for granular materials, built on top of LAMMPS
  • Rudra Mukherjee (JPL), POEMS package for articulated rigid body motion
  • Trung Nguyen (U Chicago), GPU and RIGID and BODY and DIELECTRIC packages
  • Mike Parks (Sandia), PERI package for Peridynamics
  • Roy Pollock (LLNL), Ewald and PPPM solvers
  • Christian Trott (Sandia), USER-CUDA and KOKKOS packages
  • Ilya Valuev (JIHT), AWPMD package for wave-packet MD
  • Greg Wagner (Northwestern U), MEAM package for MEAM potential

Original design and testing team

As discussed on the History page, LAMMPS originated as a cooperative project between DOE labs and industrial partners. Folks involved in the design and testing of the original version of LAMMPS were the following:

  • John Carpenter (Mayo Clinic, formerly at Cray Research)
  • Terry Stouch (Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, formerly at Bristol Myers Squibb)
  • Steve Lustig (Dupont)
  • Jim Belak and Roy Pollock (LLNL)

Timeline of contributions
