Veselin Jungic is a Teaching Professor at Simon Fraser University. He is a 3M National Teaching Fellow and a recipient of several teaching awards, including the Adrien Pouliot Award and the Canadian Mathematical Society Excellence in Teaching Award.

Most of his research is in Ramsey theory and the field of mathematics education and outreach. He has authored and coauthored research papers, essays, and news articles with numerous educational themes, mostly based on his own teaching practices.

He developed the Math Catcher Outreach Program, which aims to promote mathematics and scholarship in general by encouraging elementary and high school students to recognize how math is used in everyday life and how it forms the basis for many of our daily decisions and life-long choices. The program has a strong First Nation component that includes creating learning resources in various First Nation languages and organizing and hosting educational events for Indigenous students.

Dr. Jungic serves on the PIMS Indigenous Engagement Committee.
