Jasmin Smajic was born in Tuzla (Bosnia and Herzegovina) in 1971. He received his B.Sc. degree from Faculty of Electrical Engineering in Tuzla in 1996. His M.Sc. and Ph.D. degree he received from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing in Zagreb (Croatia) in 1998 and 2001, respectively. The main topic of his M.Sc. and Ph.D. studies was numerical computing of static and time-varying electromagnetic fields in nonlinear materials.

From 2002 to 2004 he was a postdoctoral research fellow in the Computational Optics group of the Laboratory for Electromagnetic Fields and Microwave Electronics at the ETH Zurich (Switzerland). The main topics of his post-doctoral studies were full-Maxwell electromagnetic simulations of photonic crystals and similar electromagnetic meta-materials.

In 2004 he took a position of scientist at the ABB Corporate Research Centre in Baden-Dättwil (Switzerland) where he stayed until 2011. His work in ABB covered a wide range of projects in the field of computational and applied electromagnetics such as LI-modeling and simulation of transformer windings, fast electromagnetic transients in power- and distribution transformers, very fast electromagnetic transients in gas insulated switchgears, and coupled electromagnetic-mechanical and electromagnetic-thermal analysis of transformers and circuit breakers.

From 2007 to 2020 he was an external lecturer at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) teaching at the Master and PhD level several courses on computational electromagnetics and physical modeling.

From 2011 to 2020 he was a professor of electrical engineering at the University of Applied Sciences in Rapperswil (Switzerland) where he was leading Computational and Applied Electromagnetics Group (CAEM).

Since 2020 he is a senior scientist at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich. At Institute of Electromagnetic Fields (IEF) he is presently leading theoretical and simulation related research activities.  

Jasmin Smajic is a member of CIGRE and IEEE and he has authored over hundred scientific publications and dozens of patents.
