Piroué was the Henry DeWolf Smyth Professor of Physics, Emeritus, at Princeton University. He became a faculty member in 1961 and transferred to emeritus status in 2001. Professor of Physics Chris Tully, who earned his Ph.D. in 1998 and “may officially have been Piroué’s last student,” said: “In retirement, Pierre Piroué’s wisdom and advice continued to adorn and enlighten generations of students. … I so enjoyed sitting with him, discussing my students and research. He helped me discover the best I could be and my students, they loved him.” https://www.princeton.edu/news/2020/02/19/pierre-piroue-renowned-researcher-high-energy-experimental-physics-dies-88
