The research activities of Prof. Olevsky encompass various scientific
areas
including materials science and continuum mechanics, applied to processing
of powders and porous materials. Dr. Olevsky has developed
a continuum
theory of sintering, which enables the prediction of the
macroscopic
behavior of porous bodies during sintering: shape distortion, density
distribution, etc.
The research work of Dr. Olevsky is supported by National Science Foundation
and Sandia National Laboratories (Department of Energy).
