Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish sustained national or international acclaim. The petitioner's awards were student scholarships or conference awards for young scientists, not major prizes for excellence in the field. The petitioner failed to provide evidence that his memberships in professional societies required outstanding achievements, and the submitted published materials were merely citations to his work rather than articles about him or his research.
