Nishant Singh

Nishant Singh is a Principal Investigator at the Institute of Advanced Materials (INAM) within Universitat Jaume I, Spain. He leads the CIDEGENT Research Group RG11 (Dynamic Materials and Self-assembling Systems) since receiving the CIDEGENT Grant in 2022.

• PhD in Catalytic Hydrogels (2016, Marie Curie Fellowship)
• Postdoc at University of Nottingham (EPSRC-funded Biomaterials Discovery)
• Postdoc at University of Strasbourg (Marie Curie Fellowship for Non-Equilibrium Systems)

His research focuses on supramolecular and systems chemistry, particularly non-equilibrium self-assemblies and reaction cycles. Key contributions include chemically fueled hydrogel dynamics, programmable coacervates, and combinatorial approaches to drug delivery systems.

Recent publications highlight his work on

• Life-like budding in reactive coacervates (2025)
• Polymorphic Fmoc-leucine self-assemblies (2024)
• Chemically fueled dynamic materials (2024)

with applications in biomaterials and adaptive systems.

Scientific recognition includes

• Marie Curie Fellowship (Extraordinary Prize)
• EPSRC Next Generation Biomaterials Discovery Grant
• Marie Curie Individual Fellowship
• CIDEGENT Grant (2022)

His lab explores pathways to create soft materials with emergent properties through bottom-up self-assembly.
