Afzal Ahmed Dar

As a Postdoctoral Fellow with three years of experience at Polytechnique Montreal, Canada, I am adept at organizing research for industrial problems and solutions, and presenting research analyses to industrialist, students, peers, and superiors. My work has been published in peer-reviewed articles, and specialize in analyzing results and tailoring them for possible future applications. I am confident that obtained skills and expertise would be valuable to industry seeking a, innovative, detail-oriented and knowledgeable researcher.
