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. 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.
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 1995.4 Her dissertation, Green's Functions Formalism for Low-Dimensional Systems, was supervised by David K. Ferry.5
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 2007.6
Books
Vasileska is the coauthor of books including:7
- 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.8
Recognition
Vasileska was elected as an IEEE Fellow, in the 2019 class of fellows, "for contributions to computational electronics and simulation of nanoscale devices".910
