Irina Veretennicoff is a physicist, and professor emeritus of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. Her major contributions to theoretical physics concern the interaction of light and matter, and photonics.^[1]

Veretennicoff graduated in Physics from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) in 1973 with a doctorate^[2] under the guidance of Radu Balescu^[3] of Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB).

Irina Veretennicoff has authored over 400 papers in theoretical physics^[4] and since 1988 has been an honorary member of the Class of Natural Sciences Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Science and the Arts.^[2]
