Bio

Starting November 2026, Pieremanuele (Piero) Canepa will be an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering in the College of Engineering at Purdue University. His research is multidisciplinary, covering materials science, chemistry, and computational materials science, and incorporates foundations of thermodynamics, electrochemistry, theoretical chemistry, and spectroscopy.

Previously, he was the Robert A. Welch Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Houston. Pieremanuele was affiliated with the Texas Center for Superconductivity at UH. From September 2018 to August 2023, he was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the National University of Singapore. He received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Torino (Italy) and his PhD in Chemistry from the University of Kent (United Kingdom).
