Mr. Shailendra Pratap Singh |  Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar University | India

Shailendra Pratap Singh is an emerging researcher in Atmospheric Chemistry with a specialized focus on bio-aerosols and the biochemical and physical characteristics of particulate matter (PM₂.₅ and PM₁₀). He is currently pursuing a Ph.D. at Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Agra, where his research centers on understanding the chemical composition, microbial load, and environmental behavior of airborne particulates in urban regions. His academic foundation includes an M.Phil. in Chemistry with research on toxic metal levels in maternal and neonatal biological samples, and an M.Sc. in Chemistry, both from the same university. He has hands-on expertise with advanced aerosol and air-quality monitoring instruments, including the Grimm Aerosol Spectrometer, SKC Sioutas Cascade Impactor, Dichotomous Sampler, Fine Particulate Sampler, and Aerosol Black Carbon Monitor. His technical experience is supported by more than two and a half years as a Post Project Assistant in a state-funded research project focusing on indoor and outdoor particulate pollution in school environments and its associated health impacts. Shailendra has published research in prominent journals covering aerosol chemistry, metal concentrations in particulate matter, morphology of primary aerosol particles, seasonal pollution patterns, and black carbon variability. His contributions also include a book chapter with Springer on the geographic distribution and transport of atmospheric particulate matter. He has actively engaged in national training programs, workshops, and conferences organized by premier institutions such as IIT Delhi, IITM Pune, CSIR-NPL, CSIR-NEERI, and UNESCO-affiliated bodies. His scientific work has been recognized through conference presentations and awards, including Best Oral Presentation at an international conference. He has also been awarded the prestigious International Travel Grant by the Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF) to present his work at the European Aerosol Conference 2025.
