Dr. Danveer Singh is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at IIT Ropar. He completed his BS-MS (undergraduate and postgraduate) from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Pune, followed by a PhD at IISER Pune under the mentorship of Prof. G V Pavan Kumar.
Dr. Singh’s research focuses on light-matter interactions at the nano/micro scale. During his master’s project and PhD, he developed advanced Fourier microscopy and spectroscopy systems, exploring the optical properties of plasmonic and 2D materials. As a postdoctoral fellow at Tel Aviv University under Prof. Ady Arie, he investigated novel methods for shaping laser and plasmonic beams, demonstrating controlled manipulation of nearfield plasmonic beams using curved interfaces between metal and dielectric media. In his second postdoctoral position at Bar-Ilan University, working with Prof. Tomer Lewi, Dr. Singh advanced the manipulation of light using structured metasurfaces, particularly in the mid-IR to IR wavelength regions.
Dr. Singh has received numerous prestigious fellowships, including the INSPIRE (SHE), DST Scholarship, INSPIRE (AORC), and DST Fellowship, supporting his research and travel. His work continues to push the boundaries of light-matter interactions at the nanoscale.
