Dr. Saveliev is interested in plasma engineering, combustion, and alternative energy systems.
At the undergraduate level, Dr. Saveliev teaches Engineering Thermodynamics I (MAE 301) and Fluid Mechanics (MAE 308).
At the graduate level, Dr. Saveliev teaches Heat Transfer Theory and Applications (MAE 505). MAE 308 and MAE 505 are also taught as Distant Education courses. Dr. Saveliev teaches a special topics class on Plasma Engineering for interested PhD and MS students. In this course, students study current issues in plasma engineering.
Outside of work, Dr. Saveliev enjoys soccer, home improvement and spending time with family and friends.

Research Description
Dr. Saveliev's research interests involve areas of non-thermal plasmas and their application for pollution control, material processing and medicine, nanomaterial synthesis and processing in flames and plasmas, combustion in heterogeneous media, excess enthalpy flames and superadiabatic combustion, fuel processing and reformation, optical diagnostics of reacting flows. Presently, Dr. Saveliev is 1) working on pulsed discharges in liquids, on liquid/gas interfaces and in supercritical fluids, 2) developing optical sensor for characterization of natural gas mixtures and opportunity fuels, 3) studying flame synthesis of metal oxide nanomaterials in oxy-fuel flames, 4) studying fuel processing and reforming in excess enthalpy flames and plasmas, and 5) developing optical sensor for diagnostic of gasifier flames.
