Dr. M. Singh, FASM, FACerS, FIMMM (UK) is Chief Scientist at
Ohio Aerospace Institute., NASA Glenn Research Center, Cleveland,
OH (USA). He is actively involved in various activities related to
processing, manufacturing, joining and attachment technologies, and
characterization of advanced silicon carbide based ceramics and
fiber reinforced ceramic composites, lightweight cellular ceramics,
advanced ceramic matrix composites for turbomachinery and space
propulsion systems, and a wide variety of materials for high
temperature applications. He is also involved in developing
microjoining and packaging technologies for sensors for high
temperatures and harsh environments, packaging and joining
technologies for fuel cells, nanocrystalline silicon carbide
materials. He has been actively involved in developing technologies
for in-space repair of thermal protection systems of space shuttle
orbiter, assembly technologies for heat rejection systems for lunar
and deep space exploration missions, and ultrahigh temperature
composites for leading edges of next generation space
transportation systems. He has authored or coauthored more than two
hundred thirty publications in journals, edited nineteen books,
holds several patents, and various technology transfers to
industries. He is recipient of numerous (more than thirty) national
and international awards including 1989 Crystal Growth Award, 1993
Jacquet-Lucas Award from the International Metallographic Society
and ASM International, 1994 ASM International/IIM Visiting
Lectureship, 1995 R&D 100 Award, 1995 and 1997 Innovator of the
