Rate My Professor Richa Singh

Dr. Richa Singh is the Head of Department and Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at KLE Society's Science & Commerce College, Navi Mumbai. She holds a Ph.D. and M.Sc., with 9.5 years of academic experience. Her research focuses on controlled synthesis of nanoparticles such as Pd, Pd-Au, Au-Pd, Ag, and Ag-Au; redox electrochemistry; bioanalytical applications; photochromic thin films derived from purple membrane; nanocatalysts for sensing and decomposition of hydrazine; and pharmacological properties of organotrialkoxysilanes.

Dr. Singh has authored seven peer-reviewed publications, including 'Tetrahydrofuran hydroperoxide and 3-Aminopropyltrimethoxysilane mediated controlled synthesis of Pd, Pd-Au, Au-Pd nanoparticles: Role of palladium nanoparticles on the redox electrochemistry of ferrocenemonocarboxylic acid' in Electrochimica Acta (2014, volume 138, pages 163-173); 'Controlled Synthesis of Functional Silver Nanoparticles Dispersible in Aqueous and Non-Aqueous Medium' in Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (2015, volume 15, pages 5749-5759); 'Controlled Synthesis of functional Ag, Ag-Au nanoparticles and its nanocomposite with Prussian blue for bioanalytical applications' in RSC Advances (2015, volume 5, pages 49671-49679); and 'Organotrialkoxysilanes Mediate the Syntheses of Fluorescent Gold Nanoparticles and TiO2-Supported Ag-Ni Nanocatalysts for Selective Hydrazine Sensing and Decomposition' in ChemistrySelect (2023, volume 8). She holds Patent No. 414218 titled 'A PROCESS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF PHOTOCHROMIC THIN FILM OF PURPLE MEMBRANE OF VARIABLE THICKNESS AND ISOLATION OF PURPLE MEMBRANE FOR THE SAME'. Dr. Singh serves on the Syllabus Committee for TYBSc-Chemistry NEP at the University of Mumbai and contributes to college committees such as the library committee. She has co-authored work on students' perspectives on online teaching-learning processes and organizes departmental events like the 'CHEM-O-SCOPE' chemistry fest.
