Katerina Raleva

Katerina Raleva is a Full Professor at the Institute of Electronics, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technologies (FEIT), Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, Republic of Macedonia. Her research focuses on semiconductor device physics, Monte Carlo simulations, and thermal effects in nanoscale devices. She holds a Ph.D. (2008) and M.Sc. (2002) in Electrical Engineering from her university, with a B.Sc. (1991) equivalent to an MS in the U.S.

Her research interests include semiconductor device modeling, electronic circuit simulations, and nanotechnology. Collaborators include prominent figures like Dragica Vasileska (ASU) and Stephen M. Goodnick (ASU). She has authored books on self-heating effects in nanoscale devices and contributed chapters to handbooks on optoelectronic device modeling and nanophotonics.

Raleva’s publications emphasize electrothermal modeling, phonon dissipation, and Monte Carlo simulations. Her work addresses critical challenges in nanodevice thermal management and high-performance electronics. She is involved in educational initiatives using cloud-based tools for microelectronics learning.

Her affiliations include collaborations with TU Vienna, HEIG-VD Switzerland, and other institutions. Research labs and teams focus on nanoelectronics, semiconductor device simulation, and thermal modeling applications.
