Rate My Professor Bharti Singh

Dr. Bharti Singh serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Applied Physics at Delhi Technological University since February 2017. She obtained her Ph.D. in Physics from the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi in 2014, Master of Science in Physics with Electronics specialization from the Department of Physics and Astrophysics, Delhi University in 2007, and Bachelor of Science in Physics Honours from Miranda House College, Delhi University in 2005. She also qualified GATE in 2008. Her prior professional experience includes Research Associate at the Department of Physics, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi from November 2015 to December 2016, and Postdoctoral Scientist at the Max Planck Institute of Polymer Research, Mainz, Germany from July 2014 to October 2015, during which she received European Research Council funding. Earlier, she was a Ph.D. Scholar at IIT Delhi from August 2008 to January 2014, supported by CSIR Junior and Senior Research Fellowships.

Dr. Singh's research interests encompass thin films science and technology, two-dimensional layered materials and their van der Waals heterostructures, flexible and wearable nanoelectronics devices, metal-oxide interface properties, resistive random access memory devices, flexible nanogenerators for energy harvesting, and sensors. She leads the Advanced Materials and Device Group, synthesizing 2D materials via CVD and hydrothermal methods for energy harvesting applications. Her funded projects include the ongoing SERB-SURE grant of Rs. 30 lakhs for mechanical energy harvesting using MXene functionalized polymer composite nanofibers (2023-2025), INUP-i2i programme project on electrospun nanofibers based triboelectric nanogenerator, and completed DST-INSPIRE Faculty Award project of Rs. 35 lakhs on electrical energy harvesting using MoS2 heterostructures (2017-2022), and UGC Start-Up Grant of Rs. 10 lakhs on hybrid photovoltaic/piezoelectric devices (2018-2020). She has earned the Commendable Research Award for Excellence in Research from DTU in 2022, 2023, and 2024; DST-INSA INSPIRE Faculty Award and National Postdoctoral Fellowship in 2017; Distinction in Doctoral Research (Best Ph.D. Thesis) from IIT Delhi in 2016; and best poster award at NSNT, IIT Delhi in 2011. Key publications feature 'PVDF/N-rGO nanofibers based sustainable triboelectric nanogenerator for self-powered wireless motion sensor' in Carbon (2025), 'Self-assembled nano-hybrid composite based on Cu/CuXO nanoflower decorated onto hBNNS for high-performance... CEA biomarker' in Bioelectrochemistry (2025), 'Electrospun PVDF-MoSe2 Nanofibers based Hybrid Triboelectric Nanogenerator for Self-Powered Water Splitting System' in Journal of Alloys and Compounds (2024), and 'rGO-Embedded Polymer Nanocomposite Layer for Improved Performance of Triboelectric Nanogenerator' in Journal of Electronic Materials (2024). Dr. Singh has delivered invited talks, including at MRSI-AGM 2021 on 'Two Dimensional Materials: Enhancing Mechanical Energy Harvesting' and served as session chair and poster evaluator at conferences like RPGR 2023 and ICAMSE 2022.
