About

Dr. Dharmendra Pratap Singh holds the position of an Associate Professor at the University of the Littoral Opale Coast (Université du Littoral Côte d'Opale (ULCO)), France. He is a member of the Unité de Dynamique et Structure des Matériaux Moléculaires (UDSMM) laboratory and head of the first-year cycle of Industrial Engineering at the Engineering School of the ULCO. Dr. Singh obtained his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from the Department of Physics, the University of Lucknow, India in 2008 and 2016, respectively. He completed his Ph.D. on Liquid crystal-Nanocomposites. His current research activities are focused on the discotic, ferroelectric, nematics and ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals along with their nanocomposites for studying the charge transport mechanisms and their applications for energy, sensing, thermoelectric, optoelectronics, photovoltaics and organic electronics. Presently, he is acting as an Associate Editor of the Frontiers in Coatings, Dyes and Interface Engineering (Frontiers), Guest lead editor of the Advanced Science and Technology of Defects in Soft Matter (MDPI), Guest Editor of Journal of Molecular Liquids (Elsevier) and Guest Editor of Journal of Materials Chemistry C and B (RSC). He received the Young Scientist Award by the Indian Science Congress in 2017 for physical sciences. He is the recipient of the best research award by the Indian Liquid Crystal Society in 2012. He is also the recipient of an early career award at Cambridge University in 2013, a Best Research award by the Korean Display Society in 2015 and the Raman-Charpak fellowship which is a doctoral student exchange fellowship between India and France. He has published more than 100 research articles and 4 book chapters in international journals like Physical Reviews, Journal of Applied Physics, Journal of Materials Chemistry C, Journal of Physical Chemistry B, and Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics, etc. He has supervised 3 Ph.D. theses and principal investigator of PHC Star, Procore, Galilée, Alliance, Polonium, Tournesol and Samuel de Champlain projects with South Korea, Hong Kong, Italy, the United Kingdom, Poland, Belgium and Canada, respectively. Presently, he is also serving as a reviewer to several journals such as: Polymer Engineering & Science, ChemistrySelect, Advanced Engineering Materials, Advanced Sensor Research (Wiley); Nano Energy; Applied Materials Today; Optics Communication; Journal of Physics and Chemistry of Solids; Journal of Molecular Liquids; Results in Physics; Materials Chemistry and Physics, Vaccum, Materials Today Communications; Opto-Electronics Review, Dyes and Pigments, Optical Materials; Fluid Phase Equilibria (Elsevier); Chemical Science, RSC Advances, Soft Matter, Materials Chemistry Frontiers, Chem. Comm, Analyst (Royal Society of Chemistry); ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, ACS Applied Bio Materials, Langmuir, Crystal Growth & Design, ACS Applied Optical Materials, ACS Applied Electronic Materials, ACS Applied Nano Materials, ACS Omega, Journal of Physical Chemistry, Nano Letters (American Chemical Society); Optics Express (Optical Society of America); Journal of Molecular Modelling (Springer); Materials Research Express (IOP); Journal of Applied Physics (AIP); PNAS; NPG Asia Materials (Springer Nature); Communication Materials (Nature). He has been referred as an “outstanding contribution in reviewing” for the Journal of Molecular Liquids in 2017 and 2018.
