Innovative, efficient and compassionate are three traits I would use to describe Arash. I had the pleasure of working with Arash for three years at Neovasc including one of those as his manager. He always had a solution and would efficiently work to implement it. Arash’s communication skills are supreme and has a way of making everything crystal clear to all involved. Arash’s contributions at Neovasc are continuing to make a huge impact both on the processes and the people he worked with.
He will be a star player in any role he takes on in the future and comes with my highest recommendation.

Arash is a top notch engineer with a solid set of skills and experience to hit the ground running in a multitude of technical rolls. I’ve worked with Arash for the past 4 years at a start-up medical device company with extremely challenging and regulated industry. During this time working together I’ve seen Arash grow in his technical and communication skills within a diverse organization. Arash has an extensive in-depth understanding of regulations, quality controls, data analysis, communication tools, and the overall production of medical devices.
I would certainly recommend Arash with his solid work ethic and the attitude that there is always a solution. A great team player!

I was very impressed with his motivation and scientific curiosity demonstrated at the interview stage and subsequently proven during his Master’s studies at SFU. His degree requirements were completed in 2014, with excellent standing on both coursework and research fronts.
Without a doubt, he has gained the respect and trust of our Ballard colleagues, where the impact of his research is expected to be significant and lasting beyond the scope of the present project. I am very pleased and impressed with Mr. Tavassoli’s scholarly accomplishments and research progress under my supervision at SFU. I therefore strongly and sincerely recommend him for any future endeavor he may choose to pursue, and I expect him to excel in both academic and industrial environments.

Especially noteworthy were his well-structured, organized approach, and his ability to work independently. He demonstrated that he possessed great interpersonal and communication skills by delivering effective presentations, and a very comprehensive literature review report.
Arash comes with our strongest recommendations.
