Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because, despite meeting three evidentiary criteria, the petitioner failed the final merits determination. The AAO concluded that the acclaim for his robotics research resided predominantly with his laboratory and its head, rather than with him specifically. His peer review activities were also considered routine and not evidence of standing at the very top of the field.
