Biography

Dr. Simranjeet Singh is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at Carnegie Mellon University. He obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Central Florida in 2014 and completed his B.Sc. in Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry from Panjab University in India in 2004. Dr. Singh has held various academic positions at Carnegie Mellon University, including serving as an Assistant Professor and an Assistant Research Professor. His research interests focus on understanding spin and magnetism-related phenomena in emergent quantum materials. His group employs atomically precise engineering to study two-dimensional material properties and to develop advanced experimental techniques for probing spin and magnetism at the mesoscopic scale. His current research aims to exploit the interplay of topology and symmetry breaking in quantum materials for manipulating magnetic order in next-generation device technologies, such as magnetic memory and spin-logic systems. He has published extensively in top-tier journals, addressing topics such as spin dynamics in quantum materials and the development of modular quantum sensing platforms.
