Jan Janssen

I am the groupleader for Materials Informatics in the Computational Materials Design department at the Max-Planck Institut für Eisenforschung. Before this, I was a Director's Postdoctoral Fellow in the theoretical division of the Los Alamos National Lab (T-1) working on the development of autonomous simulation protocols for atomistic simulation on the Exascale as part of the Exascale Computing Project (ECP). These works are the continuation of my PhD work also at the Max-Planck Institut für Eisenforschung in the Computational Materials Design department on ab initio thermodynamics. Besides my research work I am the lead developer of pyiron - an integrated development environment (IDE) for computational materials science, a maintainer of over 650 open-source software packages for the conda-forge community with a total of over 160 million downloads and a regular contributor to open-source projects on GitHub.
