Cantera is an open-source suite of tools for problems involving chemical kinetics, thermodynamics, and transport processes. Dr. Su Sun, a recent graduate from Northeastern Chemical Engineering Ph.D. program made significant contributions to MATLAB interface for Cantera in Cantera Release 3.2.0 in collaboration with Dr. Richard West, other Cantera developers, and MathWorks Advanced Support and Development Teams. As part of this Release, MATLAB interface for Cantera transitioned to using the new MATLAB- C++ interface and expanded their unit testing. Further information is available here.
k-Wave is a MATLAB community toolbox with a track record that includes over 2,500 citations on Google Scholar and over 7,500 downloads on File Exchange. It is built for the "time-domain simulation of acoustic wave fields" and was recently highlighted as a Pick of the Week.
In December, release v1.4.1 was published on GitHub including two new features led by the project's core contributors with domain experts in this field. This first release in several years also included quality and maintainability enhancements supported by a new code contributor, GitHub user stellaprins, who is a Research Software Engineer at University College London. Her contributions in 2025 spanned several software engineering aspects, including the addition of continuous integration (CI), fixing several bugs, and updating date/time handling to use datetime. The MATLAB Community Toolbox Program sponsored these contributions, and welcomes to see them now integrated into a release for k-Wave users.
