Professor Raman Singh’s primary research interests are in the relationship of Nano-/microstructure and Environment-assisted degradation and fracture of metallic and composite materials, and Nanotechnology for Advanced Mitigation of such Degradations. He has also worked extensively on use of advanced materials (e.g., graphene) for corrosion mitigation, stress corrosion cracking, and corrosion and corrosion-mitigation of magnesium alloys (including for the use of magnesium alloys for aerospace, energy, defence and bioimplant applications). On magnesium alloys, he has been collaborating extensively on fracture of magnesium alloys with Professor JörgLöffler of ETH Zurich (where Raman is a guest professor), and also with Nobel Laureate Professor Dan Shechtman (with whom he has a publication on Mg alloys). Prof Singhis a senior professor at Monash University, Australia. He is/was a Guest Professor at ETH Zurich, Switzerland (2020, 2023, 2024, 2026), US Naval Research Lab, Indian Institute of Science, University of Connecticut, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. He worked as a scientist at Indian Atomic Energy and as a post-doc fellow at University of New South Wales, Australia. Prof Singh’s professional distinctions and recognitions include: Guest Professor of ETH Zurich, Editor-in-Chief of the Elsevier journal Corrosion Communications (IF: 9.5) and Editor-in-Chief of Corrosion and Materials Degradation (IF: 2.5), Lead Editor of a book on Non-destructive Evaluation of Corrosion (Wiley), and aEditor of a book on Cracking of Welds (CRC Press), leader/chairperson of a few international conferences and >60 plenary/keynote lectures at international conferences, >300 peer-reviewed international journal publications and 15 book chapter, and several competitive research grants (that includes 4 Discovery, 7 Linkage and one ITRH grants of Australian Research Council). Prof Singh has supervised 64 PhD students. His vibrant research group at Monash University comprises of PhD students from different disciplines (Mechanical, Chemical, Materials and Mining Engineering, and Science) as well as from different cultural backgrounds (Australian, Middle-eastern, Chinese, Malaysian, Indian, African, North American and Israeli).

Dr. Toreniyaz Shomenov is a computational physicist specializing in high-precision quantum mechanical calculations and materials modeling. He obtained his PhD in Physics from Nazarbayev University, a premier institution in Central Asia, where his research focused on developing efficient algorithms based on explicitly correlated Gaussian (ECG) wave functions for the accurate treatment of few-electron atomic systems beyond the Born–Oppenheimer approximation. His work includes high-accuracy studies of atomic structure, relativistic and quantum electrodynamics corrections, and variational methods for quantum systems.In addition to fundamental quantum physics, Dr. Shomenov has strong expertise in density functional theory (DFT) simulations of advanced materials, particularly graphene-based systems for hydrogen storage. He has co-authored multiple peer-reviewed publications in leading journals such as Physical Review A, Physical Review E, Journal of Physics B, Nano Energy, Applied Surface Science, and the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy. His recent research focuses on bridging high-accuracy quantum methods with practical materials applications, including energy storage and graphene-based technologies.
