The primary LAMMPS developers are at Sandia National Labs and Temple University:
You can also contact all current LAMMPS developers by sending an email to "developers at lammps.org".
Past developers include Paul Crozier and Mark Stevens, both at Sandia, and Ray Shan, now at Materials Design.
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.
As discussed on the History page of the website, 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:
