Bridging Academia and Industry for Business Advancement

While pursuing his PhD at RMIT University, Australia, Farukh Rahman encountered few exceptional researchers with impactful ideas. However, those ideas were often underdeveloped and unimplemented.

He saw an opportunity to connect these researchers and experienced consultants with industry partners to advance technology and recognise their contributions.

In 2017, Dr. Rahman founded ANRF Research and Consultancy to address this need and has since collaborated with leading Australian organisations.
