Biography - Mijušković Olga

Prof Dr Olga Mijušković, MsC, BsC was born in Podgorica (former Titograd), Montenegro where she finished elementary and high school. After graduating from high school she enrolled at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, University "Veljko Vlahović" in Podgorica. In 1990 she successfully completed her studies at the Department of Structures. 

From 1990 she attended Postgraduate studies at the Faculty if Civil Engineering, Department of Technical Mechanics and Theory of Structures, in Belgrade, Serbia. She obtained Master degree in 1997 with thesis “Transverse - Stiffener Requirements for the Post-Buckling Behavior of a Plate in Shear”.

In 2005, she conducted extensive research in the field of stability and post buckling behavior of thin web girders at the Imperial College in London. Such collaboration between Imperial College London, Faculty of Civil Engineering in Belgrade and Faculty of Civil Engineering in Podgorica, resulted in PhD thesis (Domain - Technical Mechanics and Theory of Structures) mentored by Prof. Dr Milija N. Pavlović, professor at the Imperial College London, and Prof Dr Branislav Ćorić, professor at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Belgrade. In 2008, she obtained degree of Doctor of Technical Sciences, successfully defending PhD thesis entitled "Stability Analysis of Rectangular Plates with Exact In-Plane Stress Functions" at the Faculty of Civil Engineering in Belgrade, Serbia.

Since 1990, she was employed at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Montenegro as a teaching assistant, and then, from 1997, as an assistant lecturer for several courses in domain of Technical Mechanics and Theory of Structures (Strength of Materials, Mechanics and Strength of Materials, Theory of Plates and Shells, Stability and Dynamics of Structures, Finite Element Method).

 In 2011 she was elected to the academic title of Assistant Professor at the courses Mechanics and Strength of Materials (Applied Study Programme Management in Civil Engineering), Mechanics and Strength of Materials (Architecture) and Theory of Plates and Shells (Specialist Degree Programme – Constructions).

In December 2016 she obtained an academic title of Associate Professor, while in April 2022 she became Full Professor – domain Technical Mechanics and Theory of Structures.

Her main research field is stability problems of high steel girders. Computer and mathematical modeling in domain of elastic and post-critical behavior, as well as numerical analysis of such problems were the subjects of several papers published in SCI/E journals.   

She speaks English, Italian and Spanish.
