Sarabjit Singh

Dedicated and highly motivated PhD scholar with expertise in Forensic Soil Chemistry, Forensic Entomology, Biology and a strong background in Life Sciences. With 7 years of academic and research experience, to developed a comprehensive skill set in conducting high-quality research, data analysis, and academic writing. The doctoral research focuses on soil chemistry beneath the carcasses. The research was on Impact of carrion decomposition on soil arthropods, soil nematodes and physicochemical parameters of soil beneath carcasses. During PhD, analyzed three soil types (sandy, clay and peat) and also collected forensically important insects from the carcasses, which contributes to advancing knowledge in forensic soil chemistry and forensic entomology which is useful to solve the crime.

Proficient in soil analysis, rearing of insects, pinning and preservation of insects, molecular analysis, SPSS, R, a proven track record of publishing in peer-reviewed journals and presenting findings at national and international conferences.

In addition to academic excellence, possess strong collaboration and communication skills, enabling to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams. Also actively involved in mentorship and committed to fostering the next generation of scholars and researchers in the field.
