Chetan Singh

Postdoctoral Researcher

Dr. Chetan Singh joined the Weihs Group under the Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute (HEMI) consortium in November 2024 as a postdoctoral fellow. Prior to this, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Chungnam National University (CNU), South Korea, where he investigated the dynamic deformation behavior of metallic materials at ultra-cryogenic temperatures of 15 K, contributing to advancements in cryogenic storage and transportation technologies. He completed his Ph.D. at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi under the prestigious Prime Minister Research Fellowship (PMRF), focusing on the development of a novel magnesium alloy composition for load-bearing biodegradable implant applications. Alongside his academic research, he collaborated with industry as a consultant on electrodeposition projects. Dr. Singh earned his B. Tech in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee, where he explored nanofluid spray applications for heat transfer enhancement in steel manufacturing. His current research focuses on manufacturing reactive metal alloy powders using ultrasonic atomization for agent defeat applications and developing biodegradable magnesium alloys for various biomaterial applications.
