Meet the editor

Dr. Ambrish Singh is a professor in the School of Materials Science and Engineering, Southwest Petroleum University, China. He leads the Corrosion Research Group with master's students, PhD students, and postdoctoral researchers. His research interests are mainly focused on corrosion, electrochemistry, green chemistry, quantum chemistry, smart coatings, polymers, nanomaterials, composites, and petroleum engineering. He was

invited to the Indian Science Congress 2019 as the only foreign speaker on chemical sciences. Dr. Singh received the prestigious Sichuan 1000 Talent Award from the Sichuan government, China, for his outstanding research contributions as a faculty, and the President's Award for exceptional postdoctoral research work. He also received the Young Scientist Award from UPCST, Lucknow, India. He has published more than 100 SCI peer-reviewed research papers in high-impact journals and acts as a reviewer for more than 40 high-impact journals and editor for a small number of journals. He is included as board member in several journals due to his contributions to the field of corrosion. Dr. Singh has been invited to present his work in several national and international conferences, seminars, and workshops. He has drafted five patents and filed two patents based on his innovative findings in China. He has finished several state and provincial projects in China and India. He is the member of the National Association for Corrosion Engineers, Houston, USA, the Society of Petroleum Engineers, and the American Chemical Society. He collaborates with other corrosion groups in Germany, South Korea, the United Kingdom, Portugal, Italy, and South Africa.
