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.
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. Her dissertation, Green's Functions Formalism for Low-Dimensional Systems, was supervised by David K. Ferry.
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.
Vasileska is the coauthor of books including:
She is also the co-editor of several edited volumes.
Vasileska was elected as an IEEE Fellow, in the 2019 class of fellows, "for contributions to computational electronics and simulation of nanoscale devices".
