Education

Mijic completed an MEng degree in civil engineering at the University of Belgrade, Serbia.[1] She moved to Imperial College London and earned a master's degree in hydrology for environmental management, in 2009 with distinction.[2] She received her PhD from Imperial College London in 2013, for "Near-well effects in carbon dioxide storage in saline aquifers".[3][4] Mijic was described by the Royal Meteorological Society as an "influential voice" in 2017.[5]

Research

After completing her PhD, Mijic remained at Imperial working on the Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES).[6] Since, she has been involved with a number of large scale international hydrological studies and surveys.[7] In 2014 she was co-investigator on a NERC British Geological Survey funded project "Assessing the risk of groundwater-induced sewer flooding to inform water and sewerage company investment planning" alongside Chris Jackson.[8] That year she led "Improved techno-economic evaluation of Blue Green Solutions for managing flood risk to infrastructure", also funded by NERC.[9] She was co-investigator on FLIRE, an integrated decision support system for risk assessment of flash floods and forest fires.[10] Mijic works with Imperial College London's Grantham Institute for Climate Change on Blue Green Dream, a systems approach to sustainable, cost-efficient urban development.[11][12] She also works on "Hydroflux India", which monitors changes in water storage and fluxes in Northern India.[13] She has also investigated pluvial floods in mediterranean cities.[14]

Mijic is an affiliate of the Grantham Institute for Climate Change.[15] In 2017, Mijic was promoted to senior lecturer at Imperial College London.[16] Her research themes focus on:

  • Data collection and simulations of inclusive water management zones
  • Refining developed methods to improve planning and decision making of integrated water management
  • Providing inputs for land surface-atmosphere coupling and urban micro-climate simulations

Mijic has three children and has spoken about how the support of Imperial College London allowed her to balance a scientific career and being a mother.[17]
