He is not only brilliant in technical skills in getting in the lab, understanding fundamentals of the chemistry and products, but also a clear thinking strategist and market development business person. He organized our technical team to bring focus and clarity and helped make great strides in a mere first t months in the role. His results driven mindset with a customer focus combined with the technical skills has delivered a staggering impact of new customers and growth for our business. While he coordinated the technical team globally, he also co-lead the strategy with marketing to plot a growth course that was supported by management. I would not hesitate to hire Aayush to any team I was involved with as his skill set and drive are perfect for a specialty chemical value added team." and "Aayush is an extremely talented engineer and scientist. He was hired directly after his PhD from the University of Michigan into my group within the Performance Materials Division at Dow Chemical. In order to provide new hires with the ability to bridge their scientific creativity after their graduate work, we had them participate in a program called Performance Division Innovation Thrust (PDIT) which enabled them to brainstorm and conduct research on disruptive concepts with the caveat that they can be shaped into a commercializable program. Aayush took on this responsibility with elegance, by using his expertise in interfacial phenomena to investigate unique structures that can alter the wettability of materials and coatings. He collaborated with Senior Fellows, scientists, Strategic Marketers and other Dow businesses to develop a feasible concept for applications in elastomeric materials and automotive concepts. His ability to quickly comprehend and display the business utility of his work was exceptional and recognized by his team members. In addition to Aayush’s efforts on PDIT, he also has made meaningful technical contributions to various programs to support Agriculture, Polyurethanes, and Oil & Gas businesses. As Aayush is diligent and has sincere enthusiasm for diverse technical areas, his talents will make him successful as a future researcher and leader within industry."
