About
Nebojša Raičević is a Full Professor at the Faculty of Electronic Engineering, University of Niš, Serbia, specializing in Theoretical Electrical Engineering. He has been a permanent faculty member since his graduation in 1989, achieving Full Professor status in 2021 after serving as Associate Professor since 2016. His career is deeply rooted in the Department of Theoretical Electrical Engineering, where he also served as Department Head.
His educational journey at the University of Niš includes:
- Bachelor's degree in Theoretical Electrical Engineering (1989)
- Master's degree in Theoretical Electrical Engineering (1998)
- PhD in Theoretical Electrical Engineering (2010)
Raičević's research centers on computational electromagnetic field theory with emphasis on high-voltage systems. He pioneered the Hybrid Boundary Element Method (HBEM) for electrostatic/magnetostatic problems and developed novel cable accessories with reduced dielectric stress. His work bridges theoretical modeling with practical power engineering applications, particularly in electric field distribution, grounding systems, and electromagnetic compatibility. He maintains active collaboration through eleven international research stays.
Analysis of his recent publications reveals consistent innovation in numerical methods for electromagnetic field problems. His work increasingly integrates multi-physics approaches for high-voltage applications, with growing focus on optimization techniques for electrostatic shielding and pulse phenomena in conductors. The research demonstrates strong industry relevance through applications in substation safety and cable engineering.
His scientific recognition includes:
- Best Paper Award at international conferences (twice)
As an academic leader, Raičević has mentored two doctoral dissertations and participated in 18 doctoral thesis defenses, plus numerous master's and bachelor's theses. He has secured substantial research funding through participation in nine domestic and five foreign projects, personally managing two initiatives. Currently, he leads two national and two international projects while serving as president of the IEEE EMC chapter for Serbia and Montenegro. He also acts as guest editor for the SCI-listed journal Electronics (MDPI) and reviews for multiple prestigious publications.
His practical contributions extend to developing patented cable accessories and computational tools adopted in power engineering. Through his leadership in the IEEE EMC chapter and collaborations with international research groups, he maintains strong industry-academia links focused on electromagnetic compatibility solutions for power systems.
