Joseph D'Atri was born in 1938, received an A.B. from Columbia College in 1959, and received a Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1964. He was a member of the Rutgers University Mathematics Department from 1963 until his death in 1993 and served as Chair of the Department from 1985 until 1990. Further information about Professor D'Atri and his work in geometry may be found in the book Topics in Geometry: in Memory of Joseph D'Atri edited by Simon Gindikin and published in 1996 by Birkhauser as volume 20 in the series Progress in Nonlinear Differential Equations and Their Applications.
