Saarthak Singh is a junior postdoctoral fellow with the Research Foundation – Flanders (FWO) at Ghent University (2023–2026). He received a Ph.D. in History of Art & Archaeology from New York University in 2023 with a dissertation titled “Places of Piety, Sites of Sovereignty: Temple and Mosque in Medieval Malwa, ca. 1050-1450,” which presents the first systematic analysis of the architectural landscape of Udaypur, an important medieval town in Madhya Pradesh. His research engages with Indic and Islamic epigraphy, fortification and urbanism, material cultures of pilgrimage, and constructions of difference in premodern times. He has published articles on a range of subjects, including monumental Hindu sculpture, purpose-built performance spaces, Sanskrit and old Hindi inscriptions, and Islamic talismanic shirts.

His contribution to the CallFront project concerns the social and artistic aspects of epigraphic production in the Sultanate territories of northern India.
