Subhash Chander Anand
I have personally known Karthick for the last five years. He has recently completed his Ph.D degree in Technical Textiles in the area of Personal Protective Equipment ( PPE ) under my direct supervision. His research and innovation products have been granted a full patent and currently are being commercially developed and marketed by Future Textiles, based in Alfreton, U.K. He has already published a number of peer reviewed papers and has presented papers in refereed International Conferences. I have always found him intelligent, dedicated and committed in his duties and has always executed his responsibilities on time and his work has always been of a very high standard. He has an impeccable character and gets on extremely well with everyone. He is always ready and prepared to help others and is a true team player.
