This page honors individuals who made crucial contributions to Madagascar's development and to the Madagascar community. You can read their stories by following the links below.
Ioan "Nick" Vlad[edit]
Nick Vlad enhanced Madagascar installation by improving directory structures and configuration scripts. He maintained the Madagascar wiki pages and generated much of their content. He actively participated in community discussions and created the LinkedIn group for Madagascar users.
Pengliang Yang[edit]
Pengliang Yang developed efficient CUDA codes for fast execution on GPU devices and provided examples of their usage in geophysical tasks, from forward wave modeling to full waveform inversion. He served as an instructor at Madagascar schools, including Harbin-2015 and Zurich-2016.
Vladimir Bashkardin[edit]
Vladimir Bashkardin wrote oglpen, a Vplot visualization program based on OpenGL. He also developed new tools for parallel computing and handling large-scale datasets. Vladimir actively participated in the Madagascar community and taught at Madagascar schools, including Houston-2010.
Yang Liu[edit]
Yang Liu contributed code, reproducible examples, and research papers. He taught at numerous Madagascar schools, including Houston-2010, Beijing-2011, Melbourne-2013, and Shanghai-2017. Yang played a critical role in promoting Madagascar in China and hosted Hefei-2020 at the 1st Asia-Pacific Geophysics Student Conference. He currently maintains the Madagascar webserver.
