Jasmina Vujic (born 1953) is an American professor of nuclear engineering at UC Berkeley in California. She is former Vice-President and a current political council member of Dveri, a far-right party in Serbia known for anti-LGBT views and involvement in the Belgrade anti-Gay Riot . She is also the first woman to serve as chair of a university nuclear engineering department in the United States.

Background

Born in Loznica, Serbia, Vujic grew up in the town of Šabac. She studied at Belgrade University's School of Electrical Engineering, graduating in 1977. From 1977 until 1985, she worked at the Vinča Nuclear Institute near Belgrade. After moving to the United States in 1985, Vujic obtained her Masters in 1987 and her Ph.D. in 1989, both from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. She then worked at the Argonne National Laboratory before starting her career at Berkeley. She has also been involved in educational initiatives in Serbia, like giving a speech at a summer math camp for children.

Career

Since 1992, Vujic has taught undergraduate and graduate courses in nuclear engineering at Berkeley. She is co-director of the Berkeley Nuclear Research Center, which she also co-founded. From 2005 to 2009, she was chair of Berkeley's nuclear engineering school, making her the first American woman to head such a department.

Her current research interests include reactor core design and biomedical applications of radiation, as well as neutron and photon transport. Vujic has published over 240 papers, with about one quarter of them appearing in top archival journals. She has been the recipient of several awards, including Berkeley's 1996 Prytanean Faculty Award and the 1991 American Nuclear Society best paper award. She has given numerous presentations and lectures abroad and in the United States.

In 2016, she became the program director of a 25 million dollar research grant focused on nuclear science and national security. The grant benefits a coalition of eight universities headed by a Berkeley. Vujic is a member of RadWatch, a Berkeley project that provides data on radiation to the public. She is also considered to be a leading specialist on nuclear reactors and has been quoted in the news media on such issues. From 2010-2012, she led the "Nuclear Engineering Department Heads Organization " in the USA. Vujic has also worked as a consultant for companies like General Electric, Transware, and VeriTainer.

Politics

In 2020, she was accused of actively participating in and supporting the far-right Dveri party in Serbia.
