Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the required minimum of three criteria.

Specifically, the petitioner did not demonstrate that his awards were recognized for excellence beyond the awarding institutions or that his research had a major impact on the field as a whole.
