Naveen Agarwal’s Summary

When I completed my PhD at UMass, my research advisor told me "Naveen, now you know that there is so much more out there that you don't know". I have carried his advice throughout my professional career. I like to learn something new everyday. I am energized by innovative ideas in any field. I work well with teams that are open-minded, energetic and not afraid of trying something new.

I believe that each one of us has an enormous potential to contribute to our global community if only we could open our hearts and minds to new ideas.

I have many interests. These days I write a blog on Toddler Nutrition (http://www.littlestomaks.com) so that I can research and learn and apply this knowledge to the growth of my two-and-a-half year old twins. And in doing so, also share it with others who may be in a similar situation. If you like what you see on my blog, drop me a line!
