Professor Piotr Piecuch received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Wrocław in 1983 and 1988, respectively. After postdoctoral and faculty appointments at the University of Wrocław, where he was associated with the group of Professor Henryk Ratajczak, University of Waterloo, where he worked with Professors Josef Pal­dus and Jiří Čížek, University of Arizona, where he worked with Professor Ludwik Adamowicz, University of Toronto, where he worked with Professor John C. Polanyi, and University of Florida, where he worked with Professor Rodney J. Bartlett, he joined the faculty at Michigan State University in 1998. He was promoted to Associate Professor in 2002 and Full Professor in 2004. In 2007, he was named a University Distinguished Professor, and in 2020, he was awarded the title of MSU Research Foundation Professor. His main academic appointment at Michigan State University is in the Department of Chemistry, but he also holds an Adjunct Professorship in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. While at Michigan State University, he was named a Visiting Professor at Kyoto University, Univer­sity of Coimbra, and the Institute for Molecular Science in Okazaki, and a Clark Way Harrison Dis­tinguished Visit­ing Professor at Washing­ton University in St. Louis. His research, which has resulted in about 240 papers cited according to Google Scholar more than 18,000 times (h=73), has focused on the development of coupled-cluster and other quantum many-body theories, as applied to many-electron systems and atomic nuclei, theory of intermolecular forces, and appli­cations of computational approaches to molecular spectroscopy, chemical reactivity, photochemistry, and photophysics. He is a co-author of the widely used GAMESS software and several open-source codes on GitHub. Professor Piecuch has earned many honors throughout his career, including being elected to the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science and the Euro­pean Acade­my of Sciences, Arts, and Humanities and being named Fellow of the American Association for the Ad­vancement of Science, Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, Fellow of the American Physical Society, Distinguished Fellow of the Kosciuszko Foundation Collegium of Eminent Scientists, Invited Fel­low of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Alfred P. Sloan Foun­dation Fellow, Xingda Lecturer by Peking University, Lawrence J. Schaad Lectur­er in Theoretical Chemistry by Vanderbilt University, and S.R. Palit Memorial Lecturer by the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science. He has given more than 300 invited lectures, co-edited 6 books and 2 special journal issues, co-organized 11 conferences, and served on many scientific committees, review panels, and editorial boards. He currently serves as an Associate Editor of Theoretical Chemistry Accounts. After joining Michigan State University in 1998, he has worked with 16 postdoctoral associates and visiting professors and scholars and has advised 22 doctoral students.
