Professor Ashmeet Singh is a theoretical physicist, specializing in quantum mechanics and cosmology. A lot of his work involves thinking about fundamental problems in quantum physics, and its broader impact in cosmology, gravity, and possible signatures in experiment. Before starting at Whitman, he was a postdoctoral Research Scholar in physics at Caltech and a Visiting Affiliate at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. In addition to thinking about some of the most intriguing mysteries of the universe, Professor Singh has a passion for teaching physics in the classroom.
Professor Singh holds a Ph.D. in Physics (2020) from Caltech, a Masters in Physics (2018) also from Caltech, and an Integrated Masters of Science in Physics (2015) from the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee.
He is also an amateur astronomer and astrophotographer who still hasn't gotten over the shimmering Milky Way. Outside of physics, he greatly enjoy traveling/roadtripping, particularly to National Parks and Forests, and indulging in Indian Classical Music.
