Purdue Mechanical Engineering welcomes Piero Canepa as Associate Professor with tenure
The School of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University welcomes its new faculty members in a news story, among them Piero Canepa, who joined Purdue in November 2026 as Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering with tenure.
The story describes the lab’s research: computational methods that combine materials science, thermodynamics, electrochemistry and supercomputing to discover new materials and molecules, for clean-energy technologies such as battery electrodes, ionic conductors and liquid electrolytes.
