Ajay Obla, PhD

I have known Praveen for a long time and had an opportunity to assess his professional acumen during my time as a grad student in University of New Haven. Praveen is a confident, reliable and hard working individual who also excels well in a team environment. He has shown good enterprise and leadership skills in the professional years I have known him. Apart from his strong technical background, he is adept in business skills. He should be a good addition to any company since he offers very diverse skill sets needed in this current era.

I have known Akula for over 2years since joining lab as Research Staff. I can honestly say, that in the time I have known him and watched him, he truly stands out as a very competent scientist in his field. He is both careful and thoughtful of each experiment he performs and cares very much about the quality and integrity of his work. He is always willing to help others and teach those about his area of research. I am honored to be able to work with someone of his calibre. He is friendly towards others and good at communicating his ideas with clarity to others
