Cila V. Herman is an American thermal engineer from the former Yugoslavia.[1][2] Her research has concerned heat transfer,[1][2] the use of thermal imaging to diagnose skin cancer,[3] refrigeration using thermoacoustic heat engines,[1] and the electromagnetic control of bubbles in boiling liquids.[4][2] She is retired as a professor emerita at the Johns Hopkins University Department of Mechanical Engineering,[5] where she formerly directed the Heat Transfer Lab.[4]

Despite hoping to become a physician like her mother, Herman was pushed by her family to become an electrical engineering student at the University of Novi Sad in Yugoslavia.[1] She completed a doctorate in mechanical engineering in 1992 at the Technical University of Munich in Germany, and in the same year joined the Johns Hopkins University faculty.[1][2] After receiving a National Science Foundation CAREER Award,[2] Herman was a 1997 recipient of the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers.[1] She retired as a professor emerita in 2017.[5]
