Dragica Vasileska

Dragica Vasileska (also published as Dragica Vasileska-Kafedziska) is an electrical engineer whose research involves what she calls "computational electronics": simulation and modeling of the physics of semiconductor devices, including integrated circuits, solar cells, high-power MOSFETs, and quantum dots.[1][2] Educated in the former Yugoslavia, in what is now North Macedonia, she works in the US as a professor of electrical, computer and energy engineering at Arizona State University.[3]

Education and career

Vasileska studied electrical engineering at Ss. Cyril and Methodius University of Skopje, in what is now North Macedonia, earning a bachelor's degree in 1985 and a master's degree in 1992. She came to Arizona State University for doctoral study in electrical engineering, and completed her Ph.D. there in 1995.[3] Her dissertation, Green's Functions Formalism for Low-Dimensional Systems, was supervised by David K. Ferry.[4]

After earning her bachelor's degree, she became a lecturer at Ss. Cyril and Methodius University from 1986 to 1990. After her doctorate, she remained at Arizona State University as a postdoctoral researcher and then since 1997 as a faculty member. She was promoted to full professor in 2007.[3]

Books

Vasileska is the coauthor of books including:[3]

  • Computational Electronics (with S. M. Goodnick, Morgan & Claypool, 2006)
  • Computational Electronics: From Semiclassical to Quantum Transport Modeling (with S. M. Goodnick and Gerhard Klimeck, Taylor & Francis, 2010)
  • Modeling Self-Heating Effects in Nanoscale Devices (with K. Raleva, A. Shaik, and S. M. Goodnick, Institute of Physics Publishing, Morgan & Claypool, 2017).

She is also the co-editor of several edited volumes.[3]

Recognition

Vasileska was elected as an IEEE Fellow, in the 2019 class of fellows, "for contributions to computational electronics and simulation of nanoscale devices".[1][5]
