List of contributors to the development of SIESTA ************************************************* The SIESTA project was initiated by Pablo Ordejon (then at the Univ. de Oviedo), and Jose M. Soler and Emilio Artacho (Univ. Autonoma de Madrid, UAM). The development team was then joined by Alberto Garcia (then at Univ. del Pais Vasco, Bilbao), Daniel Sanchez-Portal (UAM), and Javier Junquera (Univ. de Oviedo and later UAM), and sometime later by Julian Gale (then at Imperial College, London). In 2007 Jose M. Cela (Barcelona Supercomputing Center, BSC) became a core developer and member of the Steering Committee. The original TranSIESTA module was developed by Pablo Ordejon and Jose L. Mozos (then at ICMAB-CSIC), and Mads Brandbyge, Kurt Stokbro, and Jeremy Taylor (Technical Univ. of Denmark, DTU). The current TranSIESTA module within SIESTA is developed by Nick R. Papior and Mads Brandbyge (DTU). Nick R. Papior became a core developer and member of the Steering Committee in 2015.

Sankey, D.J. Niklewski and D.A. Drabold made the FIREBALL code available to P. Ordejon. Although we no longer use the routines in that code, it was essential in the initial development of SIESTA, which still uses many of the algorithms developed by them.
