Elena Romanovskaia

University of Virginia

Dr. Elena Romanovskaia is a Research Scientist at the University of Virginia in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. She received her Ph.D. degree in Chemistry from the Institute of General and Inorganic Chemistry of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus when she gained expertise in metal-containing waste materials recycling in highly oxidative acidic environments. She held a postdoctoral appointment at the University of Virginia studying the corrosion of metals and alloys in aqueous and high-temperature molten salt and liquid metal extreme environments and was the awardee The UVA Teaching Fellow Program. Prior to joining the University of Virginia, Dr. Romanoskaia was a Senior Lecturer and Researcher at the Belarusian State Technological University in the Department of Chemistry, Technology of Electrochemical Production and Electronic Engineering Materials, where she designed and taught 5 undergraduate level courses and developed and patented several methods of waste recycling. She also was a visiting researcher at KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden) where she worked on the corrosion of nanoparticles in a human body environment. Dr. Romanovskaia’s research interests lie within the field of corrosion and recycling in harsh environments where she has expertise in: (1) High-temperature corrosion of metals and alloys in molten salts, (2) Effect of irradiation on passivation of alloys in aqueous solutions and high-temperature corrosion of metals and alloys in molten salts, (3) Recycling of metal-containing wastes in highly acidic or alkali oxidative environments, (4) Corrosion of pipelines and special purpose surfaces in chloride-containing disinfectants solutions. She collaborates extensively with various experimental and theoretical groups in North America and Europe.
