Dr. Yogesh Pratap Singh is an Associate Professor of Engineering Instruction in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Akron's College of Engineering and Polymer Science. He joined the university in 2015 and brings over 15 years of combined teaching and research experience. His educational background includes a Ph.D. in Physics from Kent State University (2015), an M.Tech. in Materials Science from IIT Varanasi (2009), an M.Sc. in Physics from Banaras Hindu University (2003), and a B.Sc. from VBS Purvanchal University (2001). Teaching: Dr. Singh teaches undergraduate courses including: Dynamics Heat Transfer Thermodynamics Fluid Mechanics Materials Science Thermal Science Kinematics Engineering Drawing Manufacturing Processes Research Focus: His work centers on destructive and non-destructive evaluation of materials, with emphasis on ceramic/polymer matrix composites , structural health monitoring , and novel non-destructive testing techniques . Key methodologies include electric potential drop measurements, acoustic emission, and embedded sensor development for real-time damage assessment. Publications: Recent articles (2017-2022) focus on applied materials engineering , particularly non-destructive evaluation of composites using electrical and acoustic methods. Earlier works (2013-2016) explore fundamental physics topics including superconductivity , quantum criticality , and vortex dynamics in correlated electron systems, demonstrating interdisciplinary expertise.
