        I have had the great pleasure of working closely with Aakash at Entegris.  As a bright, motivated, and very personable engineer he provides incredible value to technically challenging and time-sensitive projects.  He has a unique ability to provide meaningful, data-based, contributions that align with strategic goals.  He has a lot of pride in his work and is always willing to put in the extra effort when he sees a void that needs to be filled, that is outside the scope of his core responsibilities.  I would highly recommend Aakash in a broad range of technical or project management capacities. Dolan Rossi
