“It is my pleasure writing this recommendation for Mr Akash Mehta. I have known Akash since January 2020, when he joined my group as a Visiting Researcher to work on Cholera Diagnostics Project. He crafted a plan for easy implementation of field molecular diagnostics in a developing country setting. While working in my group, he maintained highest standards of work and timeline ethics and showed exceptional drive to succeed. His polished traits of planning and hard work led to excellent progress in the project that is now on its way to constituting a spin out company. I highly recommend Mr Akash Mehta’s acumen and personality as a great fit for varied and challenging roles.”
