Dr. Suman Singh | Biosensors Awards | CSIR-Central Scientific Instruments Organisation | India
Dr. Suman Singh is a Senior Principal Scientist at the Applied Materials & Instrumentation Division, CSIR-Central Scientific Instruments Organisation (CSIR-CSIO), Chandigarh, and serves as Coordinator and Professor at the Academy of Scientific & Innovative Research (AcSIR), Ghaziabad. He earned his Ph.D. from Panjab University, Chandigarh, specializing in nanotechnology and biosensors, and holds an M.Sc. in Inorganic Chemistry and a B.Sc. in Chemistry from Banasthali Vidyapith, Rajasthan. Dr. Suman Singh has a distinguished professional trajectory at CSIR-CSIO, progressing from Junior Scientist to Scientist, Senior Scientist, Principal Scientist, and now Senior Principal Scientist, with extensive experience in research, development, and technology transfer. His research focuses on advanced materials, additive manufacturing, and sensor platforms to address global challenges in sustainable energy, clean water, food safety, and affordable healthcare. He develops portable bio- and chemical sensors for on-site detection of contaminants, photo- and photoelectrocatalytic systems for pollutant degradation, and engineered treatment cartridges for wastewater recycling. In diagnostics, he advances point-of-care and early disease detection through optical and electrochemical transducers, including screen-printed electrodes, thin films, paper microfluidics, and lateral flow devices for cardiac, cancer, glucose, and infectious disease biomarkers. His work in additive manufacturing targets 3D printed electrodes for sustainable energy applications, microbial fuel cells, supercapacitors, and electrochemical synthesis, emphasizing scalability, affordability, and environmental impact. Dr. Suman Singh specializes in functional nanomaterials, metal nanoparticles, semiconductors, quantum dots, 2D materials, carbon-based systems, conducting polymers, ceramic nanocomposites, and molecularly imprinted polymers. He has authored over 100 publications, holds multiple patents, copyrights, and design registrations, and has developed technologies successfully transferred to industry.
