Biography

Singh obtained his Ph.D in Solid Rocket Propellant Combustion from Pune University and Post-doctoral Research from Max-Planck Institute, Göttingen, Germany, during 1985-86.

Dr. Singh was awarded D.Sc. Degree by B.H.U, Varanasi for his unparallelled contributions in the field of rocket propellants, high explosives, armament and management of strategic technologies. He has supervised 36 Ph.D & masters thesis. He has more than 175 research papers, 18 patents and 3 award-winning books to his credit. He is the first Indian to write a book in the national language on Rocket Propellants.

Dr. Singh has initiated and monitored many challenging and time-bound mission-oriented research programms in the area of high energy materials especially propellants and explosives for rockets and missiles and advanced pyrotechnics.A spectrum of scientific achievements under his leadership included development and transfer of advanced technologies of high energy propellants for various applications including state-of-the-art propellant technology of a novel class of low vulnerability ammunition (LOVA) for tank gun. Development of explosive reactive armour, combustible cartridge case technology, high explosive compositions for different types of warheads, advanced non-smoky RD X-based propellants for booster and sustainer applications, are a few of other notable contributions. The country has gained the expertise of life extension of propulsion system of missiles, under his leadership and guidance and it has become an asset for all the three Services and has made the country self-sufficient in this area.

He has been a visiting scientist at the Max-Planck Institute, Germany; High Pressure Combustion Lab, Pennsylvania State University; University of Arizona; Army Research Lab, Maryland; Science Applications Center, Santa Clara and Sandia National Lab, Livermore, USA; University of Haifa, Israel etc. He is the Chairman of High Energy Material Society of India, Hon. member of the Russian Academy of Astronautics, Senate member of University of Pune, Fellow of the Deccan Education Society, Member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and Member of Defence Science Journal Editorial Executive Board. He is Hon fellow of Australian Institute of High energy material society. Dr Singh was visiting Professor at Central University, Hyderabad; D.I.A.T. Pune and I.I.T. Haifa, Israel. He was also Visiting Scientist at Nanjing University of science and technology. Dr. Singh is on the Board of Directors of several private sector companies and a Consultant in the area of Industrial chemistry, HEMs. & Management.

Dr. Haridwar Singh has worked very closely with the 11th President of India, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam and several Indian Prime Ministers.
