About

• Dr. Dinesh Pratap Singh is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Santiago of Chile (Universidad de Santiago de Chile USACH). He earned his M.Sc. (2000) and Ph.D. (2007) in Physics from Banaras Hindu University (BHU), India, followed by post-doctoral research at Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIUC), USA. He joined USACH in December 2010.
An accomplished researcher, Dr. Singh has published over 99 articles and reviews, alongside 9 book chapters with leading international publishers. His work is highly influential, boasting over 7,485 citations, an h-index of 33, and an i10-index of 63. Notably, he holds a patent for growing record-sized (8 mm) Metal–Organic Framework Single Crystals (CL2019000136) which led to a co-founder of start-up MAQUI -USACH. He is a recipient of the CSIR-NET JRF eligibility for lectureship and the prestigious D. S. Kothari post-doctoral fellowship India. Currently he is one of ten Principal Investigators for the prestigious Millennium Institute of Research in Optics (MIRO), a 10-year project (2018–2028) funded by Chile's ANID-Millennium Science Initiative Program (ANID-ICN17_012).
Dr. Singh serves on the editorial boards of several international journals, including the Discover Materials (Springer Nature Link), American Journal of Nano Research and Applications, and regularly reviews for high-impact journals like Nature Scientific Reports and Nano Energy. He is also an external grant referee for ANID (Chile) and the National Research Council (CNCS, Romania). He has been a member of the American Physical Society, American Chemical Society, and American Nano Society since 2011.

Current Research Interests:
• Nanomaterial Synthesis: Synthesis of various nano/micro/macro structures utilizing chemical, hydrothermal, thermal oxidation, ball milling, spray pyrolysis, and CVD techniques.
• Graphene based exotic materials for energy conversion and storage Applications: Developing graphene, its derivatives and composites for supercapacitors and dye-sensitized/photovoltaic solar cells.
• Advanced porous/nonporous MOFs for nonlinear optics and Supercapacitor: Designing Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) for non-linear optics and energy storage as a supercapacitor.
• Biomedical Applications: Investigating the bio-interactions of graphene and metallic (Ag, Au, Cu) nanoparticles for medicinal use. Moreover, MOF based electrochemical biosensors for the detection of glucose and other water pollutants.
