Shiv J. Singh

Dr. hab. Shiv J. Singh



Shiv Singh is working as an institute professor (Associate Professor) at the Institute of High-Pressure Physics (IHPP) (UNIPRESS) Warsaw, Poland. He earned his Ph.D. in Physics from Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in New Delhi, India, in 2012. Before joining UNIPRESS, he served as a research staff member in the Department of Physics at Oxford University, Oxford, UK, from 2017 to 2019. Earlier in his career, he was a JSPS (Japan Society for the Promotion of Science) Fellow at the University of Tokyo, Japan; a DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) Fellow at the Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research (IFW) in Dresden, Germany; and an institute fellow at the Muroran Institute of Technology Japan. His research focuses on the growth, physical characterization, and magnetic properties of iron-based superconductors under both ambient and high-pressure conditions. He is also actively involved in the fabrication of superconducting wires and tapes for magnet applications. He has published 62 research papers.
