The FPCE (Flows, Particles, Combustion and Environment) research group is focused on the development of solutions that mitigate the impact of energy and combustion systems on health and the environment. It was founded in 2019 in the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (PUCP) and since then has specialized in the numerical modeling of turbulent reacting flows. For further details, see the FPCE home page.

Combustion Labs and Research Groups

The Peru Section of The Combustion Institute (PSCI) is composed by members that belong to different combustion labs and research groups. Some of the these organizations are highlighted below.
