I agree that he does not pass C1, his citations and scores are too low and not impactful enough. It appears he did recently https://www.rochester.edu/newscenter/2021-nsf-career-award-recipients-research-projects-475212/ win an NSF career award but I do not believe this counts for C2 despite some of its prestige since it's more a grant to study something.  However, it ''does'' have press coverage to some extent. His https://labsites.rochester.edu/dias/ group website does a good job at catalog press on him and related to his research. I was able to rather easily find several news articles interviewing him, https://medium.com/predict/the-inside-scoop-on-the-worlds-first-room-temperature-superconductor-7cd75c03da47 1, https://www.sciencenews.org/article/superconductor-room-temperature-pressure-physics-electricity 2, https://www.businessinsider.com/first-room-temperature-superconductor-created-2020-10 3, https://www.vice.com/en/article/y3gdgw/ok-what-is-room-temperature-superconducting-and-will-it-change-everything 4, https://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/futuretense/enterprising-ways-to-make-and-shift-electricity/13298948 5, and there are others. Most are in science magazines but he's been mentioned and interviewed in Vice and Business Insider which strikes me as adding up to pass  when taken with his research activity. This also tips the balance in my view that he passes  C7. While his research is currently of lower impact, he is studying a challenging and important field and seems to having an impact anyway. I was on the fence between weak keep and keep, but ultimately went to keep because of numerous small factors that add up. If this isn't kept I am almost certain it will be remade in several years and is a case of  Side note; metallic hydrogen is really neat
