Rao Martand Singh

About

Prof. Rao Martand Singh is a Professor of Geotechnical Engineering in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Energy and environment is close to his heart and he applies Geotechnical Engineering knowledge and experience to solve problems related to energy and environment.

Prof. Singh has got 15 years of global research experience in the area of geothermal energy pile foundations, energy tunnels, energy walls, ground source heat pump (GSHP), soil-structure interaction, nuclear waste disposal, gas/liquid flow characteristic of cement bentonite used in cut-off walls and borehole walls, thermal properties/suction measurement techniques and thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) behaviour of unsaturated soils and geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs). He is collaborating with industries to find practical solution of problems related to energy and environment. He has published extensively in reputed journals and conferences.

Prof. Singh has been through an adventurous journey of learning, teaching and research and worked/travelled around the world. Previously he worked at the University of Surrey, UK; Monash University, Australia and Cardiff University, UK. He obtained his PhD from Geoenvironmental Research Centre (GRC), Cardiff University; MTech from IIT Delhi, and BEng from MBM Engineering College Jodhpur, India. He is very concerned about global warming, soil/water/air pollution and animal rights. At personal level to tackle theses issues he is trying to keep his carbon foot print low by following plant based diet and walking or using public transport and having minimalist lifestyle.
