People Julie L. d'Itri
Associate Professor, Department of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering
EducationPhD (Chemical Engineering), Northwestern University, 1993 Professional InterestsAfter receiving a BS in Chemical Engineering Professor d'Itri spent two years as an engineer with Corning Glass Works before pursuing a graduate degree. In 1993 she received a PhD from Northwestern University where she worked in the V.N. Ipatieff Laboratories in the Center for Catalysis and Surface Science. Prior to coming to the University of Pittsburgh she spent a year as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California at Davis. She began her appointment as an assistant professor in September 1994.
