Dr. Arpit Singhal promovierte in Energie- und Verfahrenstechnik an der Fakultät für Ingenieurwissenschaften der norwegischen Universität für Wissenschaft und Technologie (NTNU) in Norwegen für die Entwicklung von CFD-Modellen (Computational Fluid Dynamics) für Festbettreaktoren im Rahmen des NanoSim-Projekts ( RP7, Grant Nr. 604656).

Nach seiner Promotion arbeitete er am Fraunhofer-Institut für Werkstoffmechanik im Bereich Digitalisierung für Materialmodellierungsaktivitäten in Europa. Seine Arbeit konzentrierte sich in der Materialinformatik auf die Entwicklung einer offenen Simulationsplattform im Rahmen des EU MarketPlace-Projekts H2020 (Grant Nr. 760173). Er war Autor mehrerer Veröffentlichungen auf diesem Gebiet.

Kürzlich wechselte er an die Universität Duisburg-Essen an das neu gegründete Institut für Digitalisierung im Bauwesen (DigiBau)
