Ivana Ivanović

Ivana Ivanović is a Professor affiliated with Singidunum University. She holds a Doctorate in Aerospace Engineering from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Belgrade (2008), a Master's in Mechanical Engineering from Polytechnique Montréal (2001), and a Bachelor's in Theoretical Mechanics from the Faculty of Mathematics, University of Belgrade. Her research focuses on thermal science, materials science, numerical simulation, and fracture mechanics, with applications in welding processes, material degradation analysis, and aerospace engineering. She has published extensively in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings, contributing to advancements in computational mechanics and engineering software development.

Her work emphasizes bridging experimental and numerical methods, particularly in analyzing temperature fields during hard-facing processes, crack growth under thermal and mechanical stress, and laser beam welding simulations. Recent contributions include exploring open-source engineering software for numerical simulations and optimizing low Reynolds number airfoils. Ivana has collaborated on projects involving thermo-chemical erosion in gun steel, shock wave dynamics in mortar systems, and environmental impact studies of river temperature changes.

Notable collaborations include co-authorship with institutions like Singidunum University and international journals such as Thermal Science and the Technical Gazette. Her research demonstrates a strong interdisciplinary approach, integrating mechanical engineering principles with computational tools to solve complex material and thermal challenges.
