Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolShern Tee is a physicist-turned-research-software-engineer and lecturer based in Queensland, Australia, with six years of post-PhD experience developing and implementing molecular dynamics methods. He focuses on constant-potential and nonequilibrium simulations of liquids near conductive surfaces, contributing core C++ implementations to LAMMPS—most notably enhancements to the fix electrode/conp functionality that improved electrochemical and external-field simulations. At Griffith University (and previously as a postdoc at UQ) he blends theoretical method development with production-grade open-source engineering and advocacy for recognition of RSE work. He is active in the RSE Association of Australia and New Zealand and supports the community by answering questions on MatSci forums and StackExchange. Outside research he tinkers with obsolete devices and balances a busy family life with two young children, a detail that underscores his practical, hands-on problem-solving approach.

Contributions summary:Shern contributed significantly to the `fix electrode/conp` functionality within the LAMMPS molecular dynamics package. Their work involved implementing the `compute_array` function and updating the associated documentation. Further modifications focused on improving matrix handling (elastance) and external field interactions, alongside bug fixes related to initialization and output formatting. These changes likely improved the simulation capabilities around electrochemistry and external field applications.
