Swapnil Singh earned her Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Lucknow in 2018, where she specialized in vibrational spectroscopy and theoretical modeling of molecular systems, including pharmaceutical compounds, natural products, and liquid crystals. Following her doctoral work, she joined IISER Mohali as a Research Associate, investigating intrinsically disordered proteins and amyloids, and later moved to the University of Wroclaw, Poland, as a Research Assistant Professor, further expanding her expertise in molecular spectroscopy and computational chemistry.
In 2021, Swapnil began a Postdoctoral Fellowship at Indiana University Bloomington under the mentorship of Prof. Megan Thielges. Her research focused on applying linear and nonlinear infrared spectroscopies to study protein dynamics, molecular recognition, and enzyme regulation. Her contributions include developing spectroscopic approaches to probe nitric oxide synthase–calmodulin interactions and employing vibrational probes to monitor biomolecular conformational changes.
In 2025, Swapnil joined Indiana University Bloomington as an Assistant Scientist. Her current research centers on advanced vibrational spectroscopic methods, including IR and 2D IR spectroscopy, to elucidate protein structural dynamics, intermolecular interactions, and the molecular mechanisms underlying biological regulation.
