Short Biography:
Dr. Balbir Singh is currently the Dean of Centre for Graduate Studies and an Associate Professor of Fundamental and Applied Sciences Department at Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS. His research interest is in Renewable Energy with a focus on PV based solar electricity generating system. His standalone PV based rural electrification projects have been installed in few rural villages for the benefit of around 300 indigenous villagers (SDG No. 7). Besides that, he was the leader of the hybrid solar desalination project which was commercialized in the year 2020 and the design won a gold medal award at Malaysia Technology Expo 2021. Previously, Dr Balbir has secured many other awards and one of the most notable achievements was the two gold medals received in the categories of Alternative Energy and Engineering at INPEX 2011 Pittsburgh, USA where his innovative product was also named as the INPEX 2011 Best Invention of the Pacific Rim.
