Gurpreet Singh

Currently, I am a Ph.D. Scholar under the Prime Minister's Research Fellowship (PMRF) scheme in the Centre for Biomedical Engineering (CBME), Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, India. My research interests are Biomimetics, Soft Tissue Mechanics, Artificial Tissues, and Computational Biomechanics. I am working on the biomechanical modeling of diabetic foot ulcers to investigate the plantar fascia for ulcer occurrence and progression due to different loading conditions.

During my M.Tech. research, I worked on improving the surface characteristics and bioactivity of metallic biomaterials, with research interests including surface engineering, materials science, biomaterials, and non-conventional machining processes. In surface engineering, I worked on the surface modification of metallic biomaterials using electro-discharge machining and investigated the bioactivity of modified surfaces in terms of wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and other biological responses.

I have contributed 50+ scientific papers and book chapters in leading international journals/conferences. I have authored 2 monograph books, 1 edited book, and recipient of the Top Cited Paper Award 2023 for my review article on ‘Mechanical Properties of Whole-body Soft Human Tissues: A Review' by IOP Publishing. Also, I am an active reviewer for prominent journals of Elsevier, Springer Nature, Taylor & Francis, SAGE, IOP Science, Hindawi, etc.
