Nominator's project description

Professor Saveliev is well known internationally for his outstanding research in the field of nanodevices controlled by noise. He has made seminal contributions in the theory of interacting Brownian particles and superconducting vortices. He has also done prominent work on generating, filtering and detecting Terahertz radiation in superconductors. His predictions have been verified by many experimental groups worldwide. During his stay in Germany he continues his research on vortex dynamics, magnetic domain motion control, and electron/proton shuttle devices
