The AMMCS Kolmogorov-Wiener Prize for Young Researchers

Dr. Manpreet Singh (University of Maryland, Baltimore County and ARL)

Award citation: Manpreet Singh received his Ph.D. with distinction from the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, in 2022. Part of his Ph.D. work was under the NSF-funded project “Mild Hyperthermia to enhance delivery of therapeutic nanocarriers intumors: imaging, in vivo study, and simulation”. He worked in the Bioheat Transfer Laboratory at the College of Engineering & Information Technology under Prof. Liang Zhu, his Ph.D. advisor.

Dr. Singh’s current research interests include computational modelling of biological systems and medical devices, new product development and medical image processing. He made significant original contributions to developing mathematical and computational methodologies revealing bioheat and mass transport mechanisms from medical imaging information and to the analysis of blood perfusion models. All his journal publications from 2020 - 2023 have been published in highimpact international journals. At the time of the award, Dr. Singh was affiliated with the University of Maryland Baltimore County and worked as a Research Scientist in the Department of Defense Biotechnology High-Performance Computing Software Applications Institute.
