Shiv Singh Author

Dr. Shiv Singh is currently working as a scientist and assistant professor in CSIR-AMPRI, Bhopal, India. He received his Ph.D. (2015) in chemical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, India. He has expertise in the synthesis of novel carbon-based nanomaterials for energy application. During his Ph.D. (development of metal nanoparticles dispersed carbon micro and nanofibers for biochemical and energy applications), he gained expertise to synthesize inexpensive, chemical vapor deposition grown graphitic carbon materials (CNF/CNT/CNP/Graphene) for biochemical and energy applications. He also had one year’s post-doctoral experience at the Korea Institute of Materials Science, South Korea where they synthesized ultrahigh temperature ceramic composites via polymer infiltration and pyrolysis, and the chemical vapor infiltration process. Currently, he is working on electrode materials for bio/electrochemical reduction of CO2 to value-added products and bioenergy and H2 generation from wastewater. He has more than 30 publications (in high-impact international journals) a few book chapters and one listed patent. Dr. Singh also received the Seal of Excellence certificate from Marie Sklodowska-Curie actions call H2020-MSCA-IF-2018/19 the European Commission. Dr. Pradip Kumar is currently working as a Senior Scientist in CSIR-AMPRI, Bhopal, India. He received his Ph.D. (2012) in Physics from the School of Physical Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), New Delhi, India. He was a BK21 postdoctoral fellow at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and a visiting scientist in the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), Seoul, Republic of Korea, where he did innovative research on the fabrication of 2D materials and composites for ultrahigh thermally conductive, EMI shielding and catalysis applications by using low-temperature chemical reduction. Later, he joined the prestigious DST Inspire Faculty Position at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), Mumbai, India. Before joining CSIR-AMPRI, he was an Assistant Professor (DST Inspire Faculty) at the Central University of Rajasthan, Ajmer, India. Throughout his research career, he has published one patent, two book chapters and over 32 peer-reviewed papers in high impact international journals. Dr. D. P. Mondal is currently working as a Chief Scientist in CSIR-AMPRI, Bhopal, India. He gained his Ph.D. (1994) in metallurgical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, India. He has more than 25 years’ experience in large scale synthesis ceramics, porous metals such as aluminium, titanium, copper, and magnesium foams and metal matrix composites for structural, energy absorption, EMI shielding and biological applications. Dr. Mondal has a good knowledge of interdisciplinary research and has published more than 150 papers and three book chapters.
