Keyvan Raeissi received his PhD in Materials and Metallurgical Engineering from Isfahan University of Technology (IUT) in 2004, where his research focused on the relationship between texture, morphology, nucleation, and growth in zinc electrodeposits. During his PhD, he was a research assistant at McGill University (Canada). He joined the Department of Materials Engineering at IUT in June 2004, was promoted to Associate Professor in 2009, and became a Full Professor in 2016. That year, he held a visiting position at the Universita degli Studi di Palermo (Italy). He is currently a member of the editorial boards of the International Journal of Iron & Steel Society of Iran, the Journal of Advanced Materials in Engineering, and the Journal of New Materials.
Dr. Keyvan Raeissi teaches “Corrosion and Oxidation of Metals” and “Extractive Metallurgy II (Nonferrous Metals)” for undergraduate students, “Modern Electrochemistry”, “Advanced Corrosion”, “Paint and Conversion Coatings”, “Corrosion Inhibitors”, and “Advanced Corrosion Lab” for master students. He specializes in Electrochemical and Corrosion Engineering. His research areas include cathodic & anodic deposition (electro and electrophoretic), anodic oxidation (anodization and plasma electrolytic oxidation), corrosion inhibitors, the synergy of wear (erosion) and corrosion, flexible supercapacitors, superhydrophobic coatings, anticorrosion and biocompatible coatings. Recently, he has concentrated on electrocatalytic coatings for anodes aimed at degrading organic pollutants in wastewater.
Awards include IUT Distinguished Young Researcher and Mobareke Steel Company Top Researcher (2006), IUT Distinguished Researcher (2011), IUT Top Researcher (2019), and Top 2% Scientist Worldwide by Stanford University (2021-2023).
