as an assistant professor in 2004, Singh was a faculty member of MNNIT Allahabad. He has addressed several problems in aerospace structures with particular focus on geometric and material nonlinearity and uncertainty. Singh has over 130 research papers published and has given numerous national and international talks. He has supervised over 21 Ph.D. and 61 MTech students. He has handled several defense projects for the Government of India. He has organized three

, an international conference in which more than 250 delegates from India and abroad attend. Singh has developed several mathematical models. He first time introduced a direct iterative-based probabilistic procedure for handling highly nonlinear problems, which are still challenging tasks in the research community. He has put forth his knowledge and ideas in some of the highly-rated journals. He has the distinction of getting his paper listed as the most cited paper since 2008 and also of a leading researcher in the field of uncertainty quantification. Singh is a fellow of Indian Society for Technical Education India and an elected fellow of the ''Institute of Engineers'' (India). He has been listed among top most cited papers in ''International Journal of Finite Elements in Analysis and Design'' in 2014. Some of his papers were listed among the most downloaded research papers in ''International Journal of Mechanical Sciences'' (2014).
