Sarath Menon

I’m Sarath Menon, group leader of the Atomistic Simulation of Thermodynamic Properties group within the Atomistic Modelling and Simulation department at ICAMS, Ruhr University Bochum. I am also a guest researcher in the Computational Materials Design department at the Max Planck Institute for Sustainable Materials.

My research focuses on the calculation of thermodynamic quantities such as free energies and phase diagrams using atomistic simulations and machine learning interatomic potentials. In addition, I contribute to the development of software and workflows for reproducible research in materials science as part of the NFDI-MatWerk consortium. I am passionate about open-source software and serve as a topical editor for the Journal of Open Source Software.
