DR. Prithvendra Singh

Welcome

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at Southeast University in Nanjing, China, working in sustainable geomaterials, environmental geotechnics, bio-mediated ground improvement, waste valorization, and low-carbon infrastructure materials.

I received my Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay), India, in 2025, under the supervision of Prof. D. N. Singh. My doctoral research focused on the valorization of end-of-life tires and waste plastics for sustainable infrastructure and geoenvironmental applications.

My current research focuses on enzyme-induced carbonate precipitation (EICP), carbonate mineralization, bio-mediated stabilization, and the utilization of industrial residues such as red mud, lime, and calcium carbide slag. My research integrates geotechnical engineering, materials science, environmental engineering, and advanced material characterization to develop sustainable engineering materials and solutions from wastes and industrial by-products.

I have authored 33 peer-reviewed journal publications, including 17 as first/corresponding author, and hold 7 Indian patents, of which 4 have been granted. My research has also been recognized through the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Seal of Excellence (2026) and the ICE Environmental Geotechnics Award (2023).

My broader research interests include sustainable geomaterials, waste valorization and circular economy, environmental remediation, EICP/MICP, carbonate mineralization, low-carbon infrastructure materials, industrial by-products, polymer–soil and waste-derived composites, and coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical-biological processes.
