Open Source Software

I have written some programs which have been made public under the GNU Public License. Naturally, these programs have something to do with molecular modeling and computational chemistry.

Viewmol

Viewmol is a graphical front end for Discover, DMol/DSolid, Gaussian 9x, Gamess, Gulp, Mopac, PQS, and Turbomole. It can also read PDB files. It has been developed by Jörg-Rüdiger Hill and Andreas Bleiber in the Quantum Chemistry Group of Humboldt University with contributions by Arne Dummer, Mariann Krossner, Andreas Bünger, and Andries de Man. Viewmol was named an outstanding product in the German/Austrian Academic Software Award 1993. The number of users of Viewmol can only be estimated from the download statistics at Sourceforge, but seems to be in the thousands.

Network Job Control

Network Job Control (NJC) is a small program system allowing load balancing for compute intensive jobs in a network of workstations. It has meanwhile been superceded by more advanced systems such as DQS.

Commercial Software

There is also commercial software I have designed, contributed to its development or developed in its entirety.

Materials Studio CombiMat

Materials Studio CombiMat is software for the management of experimental data in high-throughput experiments in materials science. I did the design of the user interface and also wrote large parts of it. Overall I was in charge of the development of CombiMat at Accelrys. Materials Studio CombiMat is distributed by Accelrys.

Materials and Processes Simulations (MAPS) Platform

The Materials and Processes Simulations (MAPS) platform is a software system for molecular modeling and related data management tasks in materials science. I was in charge of design and development of this system at Scienomics.

MedeA

MedeA is the software for modeling of materials developed by Materials Design.
