Dr Yuri Saveliev joined ASTeC in January 2006 after a long career in pulsed power where he concentrated on development of high current electron sources of explosive emission and secondary emission types (Efremov Institute, Russia; University of St. Andrews). He was also a project manager for the ALPHA-X consortium based at the University of Strathclyde.
At Daresbury Laboratory, his major efforts aimed at commissioning and R&D on ALICE. Until the machine closure in 2016,he lead the ALICE physics programme and made significant contributions to the success of the science programme that included EMMA accelerator and IR FEL commissioning, biological experimental programmes that employed THz and infra-red light from ALICE.
Since January 2017, Yuri Saveliev is a leader of the Accelerator Diagnostics and Instrumentation group at ASTeC. He is also leading the Dielectric Wakefield Acceleration programme on newly built machines at Daresbury Laboratory - VELA and CLARA.
Yuri Saveliev is an author/co-author of 37 publications in scientific journals.
