To whom it may concern:
This letter of recommendation is in support of Karthik Murali.
I first met Karthik when lnterviewed at Western New England University. The interview process includes a day-long campus
visit, wherein the faculty candidate interviews individually with the pertinent department and college of engineering personnel
to interact with candidates during the candidates'
presentation. For my presentation, Karthik was the only student in attendance. I believe that this demonstrates Karthik's
willingness to be actively involved in his work and workplace, as well as his intellectually curiosity.
and faculty. The graduate and undergraduate students have an opportunity
Further, I had the opportunity to view Karthik's MS thesis proposal defense. I was impressed with the topic, the preparation,
presentation and responses to questions asked by the audience. For me, this demonstrated his capacity to function in a
professional capacity outside of the typical university setting.
Further, I have also had the opportunity to observe Karthik's work via IEEM 709, Advance Cost Analysis, wherein I find his
involvement in class discussions to be at the top relative to other students, and again at a level that demonstrates an ability to
understand and utilize advanced concepts.
Finally, my interactions with Karthik have demonstrated his readiness to actively and successfully participate in any endeavor
his career takes him.
