About

---

Dr. Rajesh Singh is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras. His research focuses on theoretical soft condensed matter physics, specifically exploring the dynamics of soft, active, and living materials. By integrating principles from statistical mechanics and fluid mechanics with modern computational physics and machine learning, his research group seeks to uncover the fundamental physics governing soft matter, active matter, and biological systems. Dr. Singh earned his Ph.D. in 2018 from the Institute of Mathematical Sciences (IMSc), Chennai, mentored by Prof. Ronojoy Adhikari. He was subsequently awarded the prestigious Newton International Fellowship for his postdoctoral research in the group of Prof. Michael Cates at the University of Cambridge. Dr. Singh joined the faculty at IIT Madras in 2021. IITM Page | ResearchGate | Google Scholar | GitHub
