Ivo Vuškovič graduated as a mechanical engineer from the University of Belgrade in 1936. He then stayed for three years at the Technical University of Munich and there gained his PhD title under Dieter Thoma (1881-1942). From 1940, Vuškovič joined Escher-Wyss in Zurich, under Curt Keller (1903-1984). Vuškovič returned to Yugoslavia in 1945 and was appointed in 1947 professor of mechanical engineering at Ljubljana University, today Slovenia. He was in parallel involved in the reconstruction of his country's hydro-electricity. From the early 1950s Vuškovič also developed an aerodynamic jet test facility and a hydraulic tank for vessel tests. From 1956, he joined the University of Belgrade as a professor of fluid mechanics and turbo-compressors. Vuškovič was awarded in 1963 the Merit for people, with the silver wreath from State President Tito.

Vuškovič contributed to problems in hydraulic machinery. From his stay in Zurich he was interested in the optimization of water turbines. He further analyzed gas turbines and developed hydraulic equipment including butterfly valves and measurement of discharge. He also added to the cavitation research by appropriate hydraulic modeling. Later in Belgrade he investigated the effect of air content on cavitation damage and corrosion, and the swirling characteristics of turbine runners. He analyzed the suction characteristics of axial flow pumps by using laminar profiles and he investigated the optimum flow conditions for Kaplan turbines with a co-axial blade section.
