Dr Singh obtained his PhD degree (2009) from Imperial College London on "A Novel Ceramic Precursor Route for the Direct Production of Hierarchically Structured Titanium Alloy Foams". Since then he has worked on a variety of electrochemical systems such as PEMFC, DBFC, flow batteries and electrometallurgy, involving fuel cell companies of international repute such as the Ballard Power in Canada and Acal Energy, UK. Prior to joining IIT(BHU) in May 2018, he was Assistant professor at IIT-Bhubaneswar over the period of March 2014-May-2018. His current focus is on Thermochemical Hydrogen production, fuelcells (SOFC and PEMFC) and modeling and simulation.
