Dr. Singh’s experience in thermal sciences includes evaluation of the stability of chemicals and their fire and explosion hazard potential using various instrumental techniques, including calorimetric, minimum ignition energy (MIE) apparatus, 20-liter sphere for dust and gas explosion (KSt value), BAM oven for flammability, and blasting cap testing for shock sensitivity.
Dr. Singh has been involved in incident investigations, where self-heating resulted in thermal runaway or catastrophe. His work has included determining the origin and cause of thermal runaway reactions and/or explosions.
Prior to joining ioKinetic, Dr. Singh was a senior scientist within the materials and mechanics group at Exponent, Inc., a senior technologist in the battery group at TIAX, LLC and a consultant in the process safety and risk management division at Arthur D. Little, Inc.
