Pere Miro

Pere Miro is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Iowa. He is a theoretical/computational physical chemist born in Vendrell, Spain, who earned his PhD at the Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia and transitioned from an assistant professor role in South Dakota to his current position.

• Education: PhD, MS, and BS in Chemistry from Universitat Rovira i Virgili and associated Catalan institutions.
• Research Interests: Focus on physical chemistry, theoretical/computational chemistry, and radiochemistry, particularly exploring polyoxovanadate-alkoxide clusters, actinide molecular metal oxides, and 2D materials beyond MoS2.
• Grants: Recipient of multiple grants including NSF CAREER (2022), DOE funding (2022), and NSF REU sites (2018-2021).
• Publications: His recent work emphasizes computational studies of actinide/lanthanide systems, polyoxometalates, and energy materials like lithium-sulfur batteries.
