Abhinendra Singh
Abhinendra “Abhi” Singh is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Macromolecular Science and Engineering at Case Western Reserve University.
Abhi pursued undergraduate studies at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur, India leading to M.Sc. in Physics. He worked with Drs. G. P. Raja Sekhar on issues related to Image Methods in Darcy Flows. He earned a Ph. D. in 2014 in Mechanical Engineering from the Universiteit Twente, The Netherlands. His thesis work, under the supervision of Dr. Stefan Luding, focused on the flow behavior of soft, fine, cohesive powders under slow shear. Then, he moved to Levich Institute, New York, to work as a postdoctoral scholar with Profs. Jeff Morris and Morton Denn studied dense frictional suspensions' rheology. Following this, he worked with Profs. Heinrich Jaeger and Juan de Pablo as a postdoctoral scholar at the James Franck Institute and Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering at the University of Chicago. At UChicago, he developed numerical schemes that corroborate the puzzling experimental findings. He then joined CWRU in 2022, where his lab studies the dynamics and rheology of dense particulate systems.
In his free time, Abhi likes to play with his son, cook, spend time with family, listen to music, and coach 1st & 2nd-grade kids for soccer.
