Gurpreet Singh

Gurpreet Singh is a PMRF scholar (May 2021 cycle) in the Disease and Injury Mechanics Lab (DIML). He is working on the computational modeling of the diabetic foot and its ulceration progression. He is also working on developing artificial human tissue surrogates for injury and disease modeling. Previously, much of his work has been on improving the surface characteristics and bioactivity of metallic biomaterials, with research interests including surface engineering, materials science, biomaterials, and non-conventional machining processes. He worked on the surface modification of metallic biomaterials using electro-discharge machining, where he studied the bioactivity of modified surfaces in terms of wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and other biological responses. He has authored/edited 3 books and contributed 50+ research papers and book chapters to leading international journals and conferences. He is the recipient of the Top Cited Paper Award 2023 for his review article on 'Mechanical Properties of Whole-body Soft Human Tissues: A Review' by IOP Publishing and the Research Excellence Travel Award by the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi for this significant research contribution. He also serves as a reviewer for prominent international journals of repute.
