American Institute of Physics (AIP) Publishing has named Indian-American physicist and engineer Ranjan Singh as the founding editor-in-chief of APL Engineering Physics, the newest addition to its Applied Physics Letters (APL) family of journals.
In his new role, Singh will oversee the launch and editorial vision of APL Engineering Physics, a gold open access journal dedicated to interdisciplinary research that applies physics to real-world engineering problems.

"I am excited to launch APL Engineering Physics as a journal built by and for researchers pushing the limits of what physics can do when applied to the engineering challenges of tomorrow. Having worked across continents and disciplines, I have seen the power of interdisciplinary science firsthand. This journal will be a global stage for that kind of pioneering work,” Singh said.
Currently a professor of electrical engineering at the University of Notre Dame, Singh is widely recognized for his groundbreaking research in photonics, metamaterials, spintronics, and terahertz technologies. His work is advancing next-generation hybrid electronic-photonic systems, photonic integrated circuits, and quantum materials—areas critical to the development of 6G and beyond.
Penelope Lee, AIP Publishing’s chief publishing officer, praised Singh’s selection saying, “Singh's impressive background and boundless vision make him an ideal and exciting choice for inaugural editor-in-chief of APL Engineering Physics. Under his leadership, we look forward to watching this journal thrive and ultimately become a go-to publication for a rapidly growing research community."
"Engineering physics is where curiosity meets creation," said Singh. "With APL Engineering Physics, we aim to spotlight breakthrough research that doesn't just explain the world but builds its future."
Singh earned his Ph.D. in photonics from Oklahoma State University and completed postdoctoral work at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Before joining Notre Dame, he led research initiatives at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, where he founded TeraX Labs, a leader in terahertz innovation. He is a Fellow of OPTICA and a Web of Science Highly Cited Researcher.
Launched as part of AIP Publishing’s expansion of the APL journal family, the new journal aims to publish high-impact research focused on physics-first approaches to complex engineering challenges.
