Dr. Singh was chosen for his many achievements in different countries, his publications on innovative and pioneering topics, and his cutting edge research on mitigating wave energies in harbors and monitoring distress in airport pavements.

Dr. Singh is also the recipient of nine Best Paper awards and was a 2009 recipient of the University of Hawaiʻi’s highest teaching honor–the Board of Regents Excellence in Teaching Medal.
