Professor Raman Singh’s primary research interests are in the relationship of Nano-/microstructure and Environment-assisted degradation and fracture of metallic and composite materials, and Nanotechnology for Advanced Mitigation of such Degradations. He has also worked extensively on use of advanced materials (e.g., graphene) for corrosion mitigation, stress corrosion cracking, and corrosion and corrosion-mitigation of magnesium alloys (including for the use of magnesium alloys for aerospace, energy, defence and bioimplant applications).
Prof Singhwas a Guest Professor at ETH Zurich, Switzerlandfor four stints (2020, 2023, 2024, 2026), US Naval Research Lab, Indian Institute of Science, University of Connecticut, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. He worked as a scientist at Indian Atomic Energy and as a post-doc fellow at University of New South Wales, Australia.
Prof Singh’s professional distinctions and recognitions include: Guest Professor of ETH Zurich, Editor of a book on Cracking of Welds (CRC Press), Lead Editor of a book on Non-destructive Evaluation of Corrosion (Wiley), Editor-in-Chief of an Elsevier and an MDPI journals, leader/chairperson of a few international conferences and numerous plenary/keynote lectures at international conferences, over 300 peer-reviewed international journal publications and 15 book chapter, and several competitive research grants.
Prof Singh has supervised 65 PhD students. His vibrant research group at Monash University comprises of PhD students from different disciplines (Mechanical, Chemical, Materials and Civil Engineering and Science) as well as from different cultural backgrounds (Australian, Middle-eastern, Subcontinental, Chinese, Malaysian, African, American and Israeli).
