Dr. Singh is a senior lecturer in the department of computer and information sciences at the State University of New York at Fredonia. Hired in 2016, his career in academia stems back to 1978 when he first taught as an assistant professor of physics in his home country of India at the Government College of Men in Chandigarh. Throughout his career, Dr. Singh has taught various courses in physics, mathematics for computer science, software engineering and web development, among other subjects. Teaching in the United States has been a huge accomplishment for Dr. Singh, considering that he didn't know how to speak English while he was in elementary school.
Prior to accepting his current appointment at SUNY Fredonia, Dr. Singh was a visiting assistant professor between 2005 and 2016. He was also a director, research assistant professor, research scientist and postdoctoral associate at the university. Formerly affiliated with Canisius College in Buffalo, NY, the University of Pennsylvania and Erie Community College, Dr. Singh also taught as an assistant professor of physics at Guru Nanak Dev University in Amritsar, Punjab, India, between 1982 and 1985 and Shivalik College in India between 1981 and 1982.
Dr. Singh is a member of the United University Professions, the New York State United Teachers, the American Federation of Teachers, the American Physical Society and the Association for Computing Machinery. He is also actively involved in multi-field research activities, including computer simulations using Monte Carlo techniques on high speed computers, computer science education, biology education, bioinformatics, information systems and high energy nuclear physics.
Throughout his career, Dr. Singh has authored and co-authored over 110 research articles in refereed journals and more than 100 research articles that he later presented at both national and international conferences. His scholarly work has focused on computer science, information systems, computer simulations using Monte Carlo techniques, educational technology, computational physics, chemistry, biology and bioinformatics, science education and online education. Dr. Singh has also had the opportunity to serve as a plenary speaker at the International Conference on Perspectives of Computer Confluence with Sciences, a gathering of internationally recognized scholars at Nowrosjee Wadia College in India.
A senior research fellow by the University Grants Commission from 1975 to 1978, Dr. Singh also received a junior research fellow through the Council of Science and Industrial Research from 1971 to 1973 and the Department of Atomic Energy from 1973 to 1975. The recipient of several awards, Dr. Singh received an Outstanding Researcher Award from SUNY Fredonia in 2007. The honor was based on outstanding research work in the field of non-statistical fluctuations of emerged hadrons at CERN energies and their computer simulations using Monte Carlo techniques. He was also acknowledged with a President's and Dean's Service Pin for his 10 years of Plateau Service at SUNY at Fredonia and the University at Buffalo, respectively. He has notably been cited in the 56th edition of Who's Who in American and the 18th edition of Who's Who in the World.
Born and raised in Nangal Kalan, Punjab, a small village in India, Dr. Singh discovered that he could read something one time and memorize its entire content. Lucky to be the very first person in his family to attend college, he went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in physics, chemistry and mathematics, with honors, Master of Science, with honors, and Doctor of Philosophy in nuclear physics and astrophysics from Panjab University in Chandigarh, India, between 1970 and 1979. He later became certified to teach online courses through Step-by-Step, MAGNA, in 2009. Married to Sumanjeet Kaur since December 1983, Dr. Singh is the proud father of two children, who are medical doctors.
