Scientific activity
He initially dealt with theoretical high-energy physics, studying the problem of the confinement of quarks in Quantum Chromodynamics, collaborating with Prof. A. Di Giacomo of the University of Pisa. In particular he confirmed, through numerical simulations on lattice, the dual superconductivity mechanism for the confinement of quarks. Pieri's research interests subsequently shifted to the Physics of Matter, initially focusing on the properties of "strongly correlated" magnetic systems, the subject of his PhD thesis and the research activity carried out during his research stay in Friborg (Switzerland) . Pieri's subsequent research activity therefore focused mainly on the areas of superconductivity and superfluidity, with particular attention to the problem of the evolution from BCS superconductivity to Bose-Einstein condensation ("BCS-BEC crossover") and of the theory of ultracold atomic gases and their use as effective quantum simulators.

Teaching
At Unibo: "Quantum Many-Body Theory" and "Quantum states of matter and radiation" for the master's degree in Physics; "General Physics" for students in Engineering. From 2009 to 2020 he taught the courses "Theoretical Physics" (quantum scattering theory and introduction to relativistic quantum mechanics) and "Many-body physics" for the master's degree in Physics at the University of Camerino. Previously he taught for the degree in Physics "Differential and integral calculus". From 2015 to 2020 he has taught a general physics module for students of the chemistry degree at the University of Camerino.
