 * Keep. passes WP:Prof with a GS h-index of 23. Xxanthippe (talk) 04:47, 13 July 2017 (UTC).
 * Weak keep. On top of the pretty-good citations, the Humboldt Fellowship is a significant honor. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:36, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. Lack of GNG. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 01:38, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Passes WP:Prof though, which is part of GNG. Xxanthippe (talk) 02:37, 14 July 2017 (UTC).
 * That really depends on how one reads the guideline. She is the third author of the publications that are apparently her claim to notability (the first line of the article; with regards to the reference, the order of inventors on a patent carries no weight). The Humboldt Research Fellowship for Postdoctoral Researchers has an acceptance rate of 33%, and it doesn't qualify for WP:Prof in my view. Rentier (talk) 05:29, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment The Humboldt fellowship is a postdoctoral fellowship for which the recipient must apply and which has a relatively high, 33% acceptance rate. Postdoctoral fellowships are explicitly excluded by WP:PROF#C1 (see Specific criteria notes) and hardly fit in with the major awards listed as examples of awards satisfying WP:Prof#C2. The subject isn't a full professor yet. Given the high amount of unsourced information, I don't see how the article wasn't written by someone with a close connection to the subject.

 * Keep and  both make a good case. Keep per NACADEMIC #1 and 2. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 22:45, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
