Dr. Sasa Kovacevic is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Oxford's Mechanics of Materials Lab, joining in September 2023. Previously, he held a Postdoctoral position at Imperial College London (2022). His research focuses on multi-scale and multi-physics challenges in materials processing, with an emphasis on corrosion, degradation, and advanced manufacturing processes. He develops computational models (e.g., phase-field methods) to predict material behavior in extreme environments, spanning nuclear, aerospace, and biomedical engineering applications.
Key research interests include computational mechanics, micromechanics, hydrogen embrittlement, and material-environment interactions. His work addresses corrosion mechanisms (e.g., lithium corrosion of steels, biodegradation of magnesium implants) and integrates thermodynamic and mechanical principles. He collaborates with the Mechanics of Materials research group and maintains an active publication record in top journals.
Recent studies highlight phase-field modeling of corrosion processes, biocompatible material degradation, and multi-scale material simulations. While no scientific awards are explicitly listed, his contributions to predictive material modeling are notable. He advises in the Mechanics of Materials Lab but has no listed students. His work aligns with Oxford’s Engineering Science Department, focusing on translational research for industrial and biomedical challenges.
