Bio
Noveck J. Gowandan, PhD
I've worked with Kristyan for a number of years, and it was a pleasure serving the campus alongside him. Aside from his strong technical acumen, he can easily connect and collaborate with a number of diverse roles across the University. His transition from a technical role to that of human resources shows that he is quite adaptable and dynamic. He's extremely focused, dedicated and has demonstrated a commanding presence and strong leadership in his team's projects. Without a doubt, he'll be a strong asset to anyone working with him.

Kristyan is a very organized, loyal and passionate professional. He has shown commitment to his field, and continues to show a thirst for knowledge and growth. He has also demonstrated the capacity to be an enormous team player and an excellent leader. Kristyan also believes in contributing and playing an active role in his community, and does not shy away from challenges. I recommend Kristyan strongly in any opportunity that may come his way.
