Appears to fail WP:NSCIENTIST, WP:NPOL, and WP:BASIC. The only source in the article is an opinion piece that the article's subject wrote, as well as an external link to his employer's website. — Mikehawk10 (talk) 00:28, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete. There just isn't enough there for an article, nor can I find indication that there is enough more material out there. Like many scientists, he's written this and that, but only if obscure journals and government reports. He's head of group, but the external link indicates that the group is like 20 people. One quibble, the one source is a legit interview I think, not written by the subject. But beyond personal info which who cares, there's not much. And that's the only source that I could find right off. Herostratus (talk) 04:19, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: While the subject has an impressive resume, I am unable to find anything that suggests that he passes WP:NPROF. Curbon7 (talk) 04:50, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
