Dr Jaspal Singh is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at Akal University, Talwandi Sabo, Punjab, India, and currently serves as a Visiting Researcher at Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières (UQTR), Canada. His research contributes to the development of plasmonic and 2D nanostructured photocatalysts for solar-driven hydrogen production, pollutant degradation, and ultrasensitive molecular detection, contributing to the design of sustainable technologies for clean energy and environmental remediation. Dr Singh earned his PhD in 2018 and subsequently conducted research at prestigious institutions, including the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, India, Sungkyunkwan University, South Korea, and Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières (UQTR), Canada, where he worked on TMDC-based nanohybrids, MXene-derived nanostructures, and plasmonic materials for photonic applications. Dr Singh has published more than 67 peer-reviewed research articles in leading international journals, with an h-index of 30 and an i10-index exceeding 50. Since 2022, he has been recognised among the World's Top 2% Scientists in the annual rankings released by Stanford University and Elsevier. He actively serves the scientific community as a reviewer for numerous high-impact journals published by Elsevier, ACS, the Royal Society of Chemistry, and other leading scientific publishers. He has received several awards and recognitions, including multiple best oral presentation and best poster presentation awards at national and international scientific conferences. In addition, Dr Singh serves as Guest Editor for several international journals and special issues, including Catalysts (MDPI), Micro (MDPI), and Frontiers in Materials. His current research aims to develop next-generation multifunctional nanomaterials for clean energy generation, environmental remediation, energy storage, and ultrasensitive chemical sensing.
