Rajan Ambat

Rajan Ambat is a Professor in Corrosion and Surface Engineering at the Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering, Technical University of Denmark (DTU). He also serves as Visiting Professor at the University of Bournemouth, UK, and leads multiple research centers including the Center for Electronic Corrosion (CreCon) and the PDJF Center for Climate Robust Electronic Design (CRED). His research focuses on corrosion mechanisms in engineering materials, environmental reliability of electronics, and AI-driven corrosion analysis.

Key research areas include corrosion in lithium-ion batteries, CO₂ corrosion of steels for carbon capture applications, humidity robustness of printed circuit boards (PCBs), and intergranular corrosion in aluminum alloys. He actively supervises PhD students in topics like electrochemical migration in implants and corrosion prediction algorithms.

His work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to climate action (SDG 13) and industry innovation (SDG 9). Notable collaborations involve industry consortia like CreCon and academic partnerships across Europe and Asia.

Current projects address corrosion failure in high-voltage electronics, phase-field modeling of corrosion fatigue, and predictive analytics for CO₂ corrosion mitigation. He is affiliated with DTU’s Corrosion Research Group and the Centre for Electronic Corrosion.
