Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required three evidentiary criteria. The AAO found that the petitioner's awards were internal or otherwise not nationally or internationally recognized for excellence. Furthermore, the petitioner did not establish that his research constituted original contributions of major significance, as his most-cited work resulted from large-scale collaborations where his individual impact was unclear.
