Strategic Focus
The FACom Group is currently one of the groups with larger tradition within the Institute of Physics. It was established in 2005 by members of other Research Groups interested in developing research areas and topics in physics and astrophysics, mainly supported by computational sciences as a problem-solving tool. The Group has always been a multidisciplinary one, not only within physics and astrophysics but also in its relationship with other scientific disciplines, especially biology, earth and environmental sciences, and aerospace sciences.

Main Research Results
- There are several research results that have been highly valued by the community, many of which are in the form of papers, all listed in our GrupLAC. It is difficult to value some results over others since the contexts tend to differ in some cases.
- Among the most exciting results of the different investigations carried out by the group are (1) Theoretical models for the description of astrophysical phenomena, (2) algorithms and computational techniques, and (3) algorithms and numerical methods for studying acoustic seismic wave propagation.
Research Portafolio
- Expert advice.
- Training.
