Pushpendra P. Singh is an experimental nuclear physicist with a passion for instrumentation. He earned a PhD in Physics from the Aligarh Muslim University for experimental investigations of low-energy incomplete fusion carried out at the Inter-University Accelerator Centre, New Delhi. His research focuses on low-energy nuclear reactions, rare-decay studies, and deployment of cyber-physical systems in the domains of environment, agriculture, and water. He received the "Prof. C. V. K. Baba Best Thesis Award - 2008" from the Indian Physics Association. He was awarded an INFN-International-Fellowship at the Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro, Italy, in 2009 after a postdoctoral stay at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai. During his stay at LNL, he worked on sub-barrier fusion and (multi)-nucleon transfer reactions using an electrostatic separator and PRISMA spectrometer in the research group of Prof. Dr. Alberto M. Stefanini. After a term at Legnaro in 2011, he joined the Technical University Darmstadt / GSI - Helmholtz Centre for Heavy-Ion Research GmbH, Darmstadt, Germany, as a visiting scientist in the nuclear spectroscopy group of Prof. Dr. Norbert Pietralla / Prof. Dr. Juergen Gerl. At GSI, he has been associated with the Lund-York-Cologne-Calorimeter (LYCCA) and the Advanced GAmma Tracking Array (AGATA). He joined the Department of Physics at the Indian Institute of Technology Ropar in December 2013. He is a member of the NuStAR collaboration for the Facility for Anti-proton and Ion Research (FAIR) at Darmstadt in Germany, and collaborates with the scientists from JINR Dubna (Russia), TU Darmstadt (Germany), ANL (USA), LASTI (University of Hyogo, Japan), Aksaray University (Turkey), IUAC (New Delhi), TIFR (Mumbai), and AMU (Aligarh). He has been/is the principal investigator of a number of scientific projects approved by the national/international funding agencies, and is the author of >120 high-impact research articles.
