Dr. Gurpreet Singh is currently an Early-Doc Fellow at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, where he earned his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering as a Prime Minister's Research Fellow (PMRF). His interdisciplinary research spans biomimetics, tissue mechanics, artificial tissue development, computational biomechanics, and medical intervention design. During his Ph.D., he developed biomechanical models for diabetic foot ulcers and designed a modular insole for pressure offloading. He has also worked on developing artificial tissue surrogates for various human tissues (including brain, skin, gallbladder, etc.) and computational models of brain aneurysms, integrating experimental and simulation approaches. Previously, during his M.Tech., he worked on surface modification of metallic biomaterials using electro-discharge machining to enhance bioactivity. His work involved the surface coatings of Ti alloys, 316L SS, Co-Cr-based biomaterials, and evaluating their performance in terms of wear resistance, corrosion behavior, and cellular compatibility, laying a strong foundation in biomaterials and surface engineering.
To date, he has contributed 50+ peer-reviewed journal publications and presented his research at multiple international conferences. He has also authored some monograph books and co-edited two volumes, further reflecting his commitment to scientific dissemination. He has received several recognitions, including the Top Cited Paper Award (IOP Publishing 2023) for his review article on the mechanical properties of soft human tissues, the Research Excellence Travel Award (RETA) from IIT Delhi in 2024, and the Dogra Educational Endowment Award (2025) for best scientific publication in Biomedical Engineering at IIT Delhi. He is serving as a reviewer for leading international journals and aims to translate engineering research into real-world healthcare solutions.
