The program starts with the community bonding period that lasts for almost a month. This is the phase of the program in which you have to know the working of your organization and get introduced to the community. You are also expected to become familiar with community practices and processes. For this phase of my […]

I contacted the FEniCS community on their slack channel to inform them about my selection into the GSoC program. The community members were really generous and congratulated me. Then my mentors (Jack S. Hale and Michal Habera) proposed a hangout meeting to be held on May 16th, 2019. In the meantime, they suggested to get […]

I am so much happy to have been officially accepted to contribute to the FEniCS project. For those who don’t know, FEniCS (Finite Element Computational Software) is a popular open-source (LGPLv3) computing platform for solving partial differential equations (PDEs). According to wikiversity, FEniCS is an acronym with FE representing Finite Element, CS representing Computational Software, […]
Read MoreFEniCS is a popular open-source computing platform for solving partial differential equations (PDEs). The official site, as well as their official documentation, provides all the necessary steps that are required to set up and run FEniCS. The easiest way to start with FEniCS is via Docker. To use FEniCS with docker follow these steps: Install […]

LAMMPS (Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator) is a classical molecular dynamics code.“LAMMPS has potentials for soft materials (biomolecules, polymers) and solid-state materials (metals, semiconductors) and coarse-grained or mesoscopic systems. It can be used to model atoms or, more generically, as a parallel particle simulator at the atomic, mesoscale, or continuum scale.” Pre Installation Steps:-These installation […]
Read MoreHigh-efficiency energy storage devices are one of the greatest scientific and engineering challenges to power the various electronic equipment of the twenty-first century and this instigated research on innovative energy storage devices. Recently, transition metal chalcogenides, specifically molybdenum chalcogenides, have got great attention of the researchers due to their amazing physicochemical as well as mechanical properties. […]
Read MoreWhen we create a surface plot based on X, Y and Z matrices in Matlab using the surf function, it sets the colormap based on the Z matrix. If we want custom colormap based on some other matrix we can do that by specifying the CData property of the surface. To create the same results […]
Read MoreThe new era of technology is leading us towards unconventional, clean energy as well as more compact, smaller and durable devices. Fossil fuels were the major source of energy for the last few centuries, but it was not a renewable source of energy. A series of environmental issues have been emerging since the last century […]
