Ilirian Dhimitruka - University of Wisconsin Parkside

Dr. Dhimitruka completed his undergraduate studies in Industrial Chemistry at the University of Tirana, in Albania. He obtained his Doctor of Philosophy degree in Chemistry from Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, and completed his postdoctoral training at the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. Subsequently, he worked as Senior Research Scientist and Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. Prior to joining the Chemistry Department at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, Dr. Dhimitruka was a Visiting Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Mercy College in Dobbs Ferry, New York.
