Jun 2018 - May 2022
Official repository of the Wannier90 code
Role in this project:Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:32 commits, 17 PRs, 20 comments in 3 years 11 months
Contributions summary:Jamal primarily focused on enhancing the Wannier90 code base by implementing features related to selectable projections. They added a `num_proj` parameter, removed restrictions on its value, and incorporated reading of selected projections from the AMN file. These changes involved modifications to the `parameters.F90` and `overlap.F90` files and included fixes for array allocation and deallocation. The user also addressed issues related to broadcasting variables and formatting of code.
