Dr. Ashraf is easygoing, social, and professional at the same time. Everyone around Dr. Ashraf likes to work with him, as he always tries his best to build bridges with his supervisors and peers. Many faculty members in the Faculty of Science, especially in the school of Computer Science (CS) know Dr. Ashraf, and some worked with him in many projects. He also familiar with the staff as well. He built excellent relationships with CS members even though he was a Ph.D. student in the Faculty of Engineer, in which he is very well known too. Dr. Ashraf is built as a leader, which can be noticed during leading the junior researchers, also by the result of holding many elective positions during his Ph.D. he served in many resolution committees such as President / VP for CUPE Local 4580 Representing GAs and TAs at University of Windsor, Director, Youth Affairs, WIA (Windsor Islamic Association).
