Biography
Pieremanuele Canepa is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the National University of Singapore. Pieremanuele is part of the Singapore-MIT Alliance. Previously, he was a Postdoctoral fellow under the guidance of Prof. Gerbrand Ceder initially at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and later at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. He received his bachelor and master degrees in Chemistry from the University of Torino (Italy) and his PhD from the University of Kent (United Kingdom). His research contributes to the rational design of new materials for clean energy technologies, such as electrode materials for batteries, ionic conductors and liquid electrolytes for sustainable energy storage devices. In March 2020 he was awarded the National Research Fellowship and equivalent to NSF CAREER in the US or the ERC in Europe. In 2021 he was elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, in 2022 a Materials Au Rising Stars from the American Chemical Society.
