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. Since 1998, Dr. Olevsky is a faculty member of the Mechanical Engineering Department of the San Diego State University. Prof. Olevsky's publications reflect his dual mechanics and materials science oriented research. More than 180 papers and about 100 invited lectures and scientific presentations have resulted from his research activities. Prof. Olevsky is the Director of the SDSU Powder Technology Laboratory.
