[1] He then joined the Geosciences Group at the Physical Research Laboratory (PRL), Ahmedabad, India in 1976 as a Postdoctoral Fellow, where he began applying mineral spectroscopy to study paleoclimates.
From 1977 to 1978, he worked with Dr. Martin Aitkin at Keble College, University of Oxford, UK as a Ford Foundation Fellow, where he began thermoluminescence dating of sedimentary deposits in desert sands.
[4][5] Prof. Singhvi's contribution in helping adopt thermoluminescence to date sedimentary deposits is a major method to measure paleoclimatic processes on geological timescales.
[12][13][14] More recently, his studies have contributed to understanding the origins of Indian Middle Palaeolithic culture[2] and modern human dispersals.
[14] Singhvi's leadership includes leading India's membership to the International Quaternary Union (INQUA) and led the Indian delegation to IUGS in 2004 and 2008.
