Computational Physics in Condensed Matter (FICOMACO)

The Computational Physics in Condensed Matter Research Group (FICOMACO) brings together a variety of techniques, methodologies, and theoretical approaches focused on the study and analysis of the physical and chemical phenomena inherent to matter. Its multiscale analyses range from quantum physical chemistry and first-principles methods, applied to the study of quantum materials, to effective Hamiltonians and finite element methods, used in the analysis of low-dimensional systems, graphene, magnetic systems, and related materials.Currently, FICOMACO includes the permanent participation of six UIS faculty members and more than 10 students. Throughout its more than 25 years of research, the group has published over 100 peer-reviewed articles, trained more than 50 students, and represented the University at more than 150 national and international scientific conferences.
