Brief Profile

Dr. Meetesh Singh is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at Shri Guru Ram Rai University (SGRRU), Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India. He earned his Ph.D. in 2022 from the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, where his research focused on polyanion-based cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries. He later completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Pittsburg State University, Kansas, USA, advancing metal–sulfur and solid-state battery systems with a strategic emphasis on interface design and scale-up approaches.

Prior to joining SGRRU, Dr. Singh served as Research Scientist III at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, where he contributed to ALD/MLD-based interface innovations and led the development of advanced battery technologies. His research portfolio includes over 10 peer-reviewed Q1 publications, one granted Indian patent, and two U.S. patent filings, demonstrating his commitment to high-impact, translational science. His work has been presented at prestigious global forums, including a panel discussion on battery research with Stanford University, USA. In recognition of his contributions, Dr. Singh was honored as the Indian Nominee for the 69th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting in Lindau, Germany.

Dr. Singh’s interests span industrial prototyping and the scaling of next-generation battery technologies. He has successfully led initiatives to establish battery research facilities and possesses deep expertise in synthesizing battery materials via hydrothermal, sol–gel, solid-state, and co-precipitation methods. His technical proficiency includes advanced characterization (XRD, FE-SEM, FTIR, TGA/DSC, XPS, Raman, EPR) and electrochemical diagnostics (CV, EIS, GCD).

He is highly skilled in glovebox-based coin and pouch cell fabrication and conducts rigorous post-mortem analyses for degradation studies involving moisture-sensitive materials under inert conditions. His contributions extend to authoring a book chapter on energy materials, editing a scientific volume on electrode and interface advances, and serving as a reviewer for prominent journals published by Wiley, reflecting his dedication to scientific stewardship.

In academic and student leadership, Dr. Singh has held various roles, including Department Research Committee member, Sports Secretary, Mess Secretary, and Joint Secretary of the IPA Roorkee Chapter at IIT Roorkee. He also played a key role in organizing the IMSED-2018 international conference at IIT Roorkee, fostering academic–industry linkages.

With a visionary outlook on the industrialization of energy research, Dr. Singh continues to spearhead scalable solutions that bridge academia, technological innovation, and commercial deployment.
