Re: Recommendation Letter for Vibhu Sharma
I have known Mr. Vibhu Sharma for the past three years as he was a Ph.D. intern in my
group conducting scientific research under my supervision. Without any doubt, he was one
of the most productive interns among all other students that I have hosted over the years.
His research work at Argonne has supported multiple DOE and an industrial projects which
were related to fundamental understanding of the friction and wear mechanisms of nano-
colloidal lubricants and engineered surfaces. In all of these, Vibhu has impressed our
management and DOE sponsors mainly because of his great attention to the details often
including his own creativity and personal touch which were beyond just running the
experiments and reporting the results back. He and I had very scientific and in-depth
discussions of the results he produced and his way of looking at and thinking about things
was rather commendable. His research work at Argonne has resulted in multiple conference
presentations, posters, and papers. Overall, both experimentally and scientifically, Vibhu
has made outstanding contributions to our projects and in a nutshell, I strongly believe that
he is well-prepared and qualified for the job opportunities that he might be seeking after.
Again, he was one of those rare individuals with a special aptitude for high scientific
curiosity, creativity, and motivation. I strongly recommend him for the real engineering or
scientific positions that he is applying for. I have no doubt that he will do extremely well.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions or desire more
information.
