Professor Singh, a long-standing board member of IMechE’s Aerospace Board and a past chairman of the board, has delivered two International Prestige lectures in India.
The lectures, which attracted audiences of 75 to 150, took place in February and were hosted by the IIT, Hyderabaad and the University of Petroleum and Dnergy in Dehradun, as part of an ongoing interest and commitment which Professor Singh has towards India and the IMechE.
The lectures were specialist and of relevance to universities at postgraduate level and industry. The first lecture was delivered at the Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad (IIT), and was entitled ‘Post Nubes Lux: Aerospace Propulsion. After Darkness Light,’ which considered how civil aerospace, besides being influenced by a plethora of engineering science disciplines and market needs, is also dependent on the weather, environment and climate.
The second lecture was delivered at the University of Petroleum and Energy, Dehradun, and was titled ‘Advanced Gas Path Diagnostics: Opportunities & Challenges for Gas Turbines.’ It looked at extensive research undertaken over a long period demonstrating opportunities for users of gas turbines to derive considerable operational and economic advantages in using new methods of analysing the gas turbines degradation during operation.
Singh said: “The UK is particularly well placed in the context of power and propulsion technologies. These technologies are of increasing importance to India. These lectures are given because of the benefits they bring to India and the UK as well is to IMechE in increasing its presence and importance within India and Indian engineers.
“My lectures have a focus on the bringing together of product technology and market strategy at the postgraduate level, for the benefit of the University and partner industries. Within power and propulsion, there is an opportunity for both India and the UK, and a role for IMechE.”
