Bio
Pierre Asselin
Arvind is extremely dedicated and hard working. We've worked on a few projects together and really put a tremendous effort and works well as a leader and as part of a team. He welcomes suggestions and implements many of them. He is also able to implement innovative solutions to problems and resolve any challenges that arises. It's been a pleasure to be associated with him for over a decade and I always look forward to working on projects with him.
Andrew Kwarciak
I had the pleasure to work with Arvind for several years while we were both at the Kessler Foundation Research Center. Besides his great personality, Arvind was always dedicated. As his immediate supervisor, I could always count on Arvind to get the job done in a timely and exceptional manner. Whether he was writing a paper, running a research study, or creating a conference poster, Arvind consistently delivered high-quality work. I’m confident that he will continue to impress those with which he works.
