Jelena Bayat

Prof. Dr. Jelena Bayat is a Full Professor at the Department of Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry, Faculty of Technology and Metallurgy, University of Belgrade. She was elected to this position on May 13, 2015. Her primary research focuses on electrochemistry, corrosion science, and surface engineering of materials, with emphasis on metallic/non-metallic coatings and green corrosion inhibitors.

Her research explores:

• Electrochemical deposition techniques for protective coatings
• Corrosion stability of metals and alloys
• Development of eco-friendly corrosion inhibitors
• Nanocomposite materials for industrial applications
• Surface characterization methods

Publications consistently address corrosion mitigation, coating durability, and electrochemical processes, with recent emphasis on sustainable materials and surface modification technologies.

She mentors extensively:

• Doctoral students: 3 (e.g., green corrosion inhibitors, nanocomposites)
• Master's students: 9 (e.g., corrosion stability, electrochemical deposition)
• Undergraduate researchers: 20+ (theses on coatings, corrosion testing)
