20 July 2025 – The world of materials research and development has once again marked a significant step forward. Through an intensive workshop titled “LARGE-SCALE ATOMIC/MOLECULAR MASSIVE PARALLEL SIMULATOR (LAMMPS)”, researchers were equipped with the ability to “peek into” and predict atomic behavior with high precision through computational simulations.
The three-day event, held from 15 to 17 July 2025 in Room 2004 DTMM, was successfully organized under the full coordination of Ms. Azzah, who ensured that the workshop ran smoothly and interactively.
The workshop’s core focus was mastering LAMMPS, a molecular dynamics simulation package designed to model large-scale and complex material systems in parallel. With this tool, researchers can simulate atomic and molecular interactions within materials, making it a powerful instrument for exploring new materials.
A key role in the workshop was played by Prof. Syarif Junaidi from the University of Sharjah, who led the training sessions and shared his expertise—an invaluable contribution for all participants.
Why is this workshop so crucial? The answer lies in the revolutionary efficiency provided by modern computation.“This activity is important because, through computation, we can model and predict the behavior of atoms in a material without conducting direct experiments,” he explained, highlighting the main benefit of such simulations. This dramatically increases time and cost efficiency in research while supporting the development of new materials with unmatched precision.
Although the event’s sequence was not presented chronologically, the three-day workshop in Room 2004 DTMM was conducted in a comprehensive and practical manner. Participants were guided step by step—from understanding the syntax, running simulations, to analyzing the results—preparing them to apply LAMMPS in their own research projects.
By mastering this parallel-simulation technology, researchers in Indonesia now possess a powerful computational tool to accelerate material discovery and innovation. The LAMMPS Workshop effectively opens the gateway to developing stronger, lighter, and more functional materials, reaffirming that the future of materials science lies in the hands of those who command large-scale atomic simulations.
