  • Comment: I missed his two fellowships, which make him notable. However this page needs substantial cleanup. I have done some, but the original editor has to do more. Ldm1954 (talk) 06:32, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: With an h-factor of 12 he is not yet close. While his focus area seems to be a little lowly cited, the highest in Google Scholar was 86, such a low h-factors by itself is not enough. There are no indications of major awards to bolster the case. Ldm1954 (talk) 03:03, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
