Piotr Piecuch (born January 21, 1960) is a Polish-born American physical chemist. He holds the title of university distinguished professor[1][2] in the department of chemistry at Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan, United States. He supervises a group,[3] whose research focuses on theoretical and computational chemistry as well as theoretical and computational physics, particularly on the development and applications of many-body methods for accurate quantum calculations for molecular systems and atomic nuclei, including methods based on coupled cluster theory, mathematical methods of chemistry and physics, and theory of intermolecular forces. His group is also responsible for the development of the coupled-cluster computer codes incorporated in the widely used GAMESS (US) package.
