Jasmina Vujic was the first woman to join Berkeley’s Department of Nuclear Engineering in 1992 and is now one of the first women to be appointed to a nuclear engineering chairmanship in the U.S. Vujic was appointed NE chair in July, succeeding Per Peterson.
A native of Yugoslavia, Vujic began her studies at the University of Belgrade, now the capital of Serbia and Montenegro. She received her advanced degrees at the University of Michigan.
Vujic’s research interests include development of advanced numerical methods for the neutronic analysis of nuclear reactors, radiation shielding, medical applications of radiation, and reactor core design and analysis, among others. She is also director of Berkeley’s Advanced Nuclear Engineering Computing Laboratory and Davis Etcheverry Computing Facility.
