"Student Researcher of the Quarter" award by Translational Nanosciences, University of Maryland Baltimore County, Maryland, USA.
Awarded "Graduate Research Assistantship" through National Science Foundation-1705538, and "Graduate Teaching Department Assistantship" for mentoring the undergraduate students in the course of Heat Transfer Processes and Bioheat Transfer.
Awarded "Merit Cum Means Fellowship" during Masters in Engineering in Thermal Engineering by awarding agency "TIET-Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology University", Patiala, Punjab, India for the duration of two academic years (2014-2016) for high academic achievement with Grade Point Average (GPA>8.00). This award is provided to six meritorious students, including all other engineering awarding streams at the Thapar University. Within the department of Mechanical Engineering, this award was conferred to two students and Mr. Manpreet Singh is one of the recipient of the Research Award due to high Academic Excellence. This award covers the whole tuition attendence at the Thapar University.
Awarded "Graduate Research Assistantship", a prestigious honor conferred to Mr. Manpreet Singh by awarding agency "Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering", Rowan University, Glassboro, New Jersey, USA for the duration of one academic year. Manpreet Singh has contributed towards the development of novel infusion catheters in collaboration with the joint venture of Thomas Jefferson University, Pennsylvania, USA; Rowan University, Glassboro, USA and Capillary Biomedical Inc., Irvine, California, USA. The research output was used by the company to apply for NIH research grant. This award covers the whole tuition attendence at the Rowan University.
Awarded "Graduate Research Internship", as part of Curriculum Practicum Training, (CPT) approved for International students by USCIS at University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland, USA for the role of EpidemiologicalAssistant-III to assist a thermal therapy project to do multiphysics and design modeling/simulations using computational softwares available at MPTC to design thermotherapy applicators and perform 3D simulations of deep, interstitial, and superficial thermal therapy treatments. The research contributes towards development of the three-dimensional temperature maps to facilitate treatment planning, training of thermotherapy professionals. This research is pioneer in the US, and it will facilitate the development of 3D patient-specific treatment planning protocols, which is expected to be reflected in superior treatment outcomes in thermal oncology practices across the United States.
Awarded "Graduate Research Internship", as part of Curriculum Practicum Training, (CPT) approved for International students by USCIS at Maryland Proton Treatment Center, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland, USA for the role of Assistant Medical Physicist to independently provide clinical professional service to ensure that right amount of dose to be delivered to the right location as part of treatment planning. Further, Singh's responsibilities include patient-specific plan verification measurements/ calculations ensuring safety, quality assurance while assisting the interdisciplinary medical physics team with the development of customized software tools.
Academic Achievements
Achieved "A" grades in Masters Thesis Dissertation seminar project "Medical Imaging Assisted Computational Bio-heat Transfer Using Magnetic Nanoparticles Induced Hyperthermia.". The thesis research work is recognised as the excellent research done by the student in the TIET-institute and amongst top 1% students across all engineering disciplines. This is the first interdisciplinary research project ever submitted by thermal engineering discipline to relate biomedical sciences, physics, imaging to mechanical engineering for a specified research problem.
