Dr. Chetan Singh earned his B.Tech in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee, where his undergraduate research focused on using nanofluid sprays to enhance heat transfer in steel manufacturing. He pursued his Ph.D. at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi as a recipient of the prestigious Prime Minister Research Fellowship (PMRF), where he developed a novel magnesium alloy composition for load-bearing biodegradable implant applications. In parallel, he collaborated with industry as a consultant on multiple projects, gaining valuable experience in applied research and development.

Following his doctoral studies, Dr. Singh worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Chungnam National University (CNU), South Korea, investigating the dynamic deformation behavior of metallic materials at ultra-cryogenic temperatures (15 K). His research contributed to advancements in cryogenic storage and liquid hydrogen transportation technologies.

Dr. Singh is a postdoctoral fellow in the Weihs Group at the Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute (HEMI) consortium at Johns Hopkins University (JHU). His research focuses on the development of reactive metal alloy powders with optimized ignition and combustion properties using ultrasonic atomization for agent defeat applications and on advancing biodegradable magnesium alloys for biomaterial applications.
