Submission declined on 10 March 2026 by Nighfidelity (talk). This draft reads like a resume or curriculum vitae. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a professional networking website or a place to promote yourself or your services. We also strongly discourage writing about yourself. Articles about people must meet Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for people. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that: provide significant coverage: discuss the person in detail, not just brief mentions or routine announcements; are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight; are independent: not connected to the person, such as interviews, press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content. Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia. Declined by Nighfidelity 5 months ago.

• Comment: The sources cited in this article are mostly by the subject or his employers or schools; that is, they are not independent of the subject. The last reference in the list is independent but it isn't significant coverage of the subject. This is fine for verifying facts but not for establishing notability. We need more independent significant coverage of this individual, or evidence of a major (national or international) award, endowed chair, or similar; see WP:NPROF.
