I have been watching this page since its creation with some concern. I agree with the nominator about . On first reading, the page does appear to meet GNG because of the numerous awards described, and the publications in high-quality scientific journals. However, I looked at the subject's website (from the external links section of the page), and he is an Assistant Professor at his university. Per , this places him below the notability threshold for academics, absent other demonstrations of notability. (I'll point out that the consensus at  sets the threshold for notability here higher than it is set for living persons in various other areas of accomplishment. In part, this is because of the temptation to use Wikipedia for .) As for the awards, I've looked at them one-by-one, and they are '''all''' awards that are given to early-career scientists, the kinds of awards that are intended to help a young investigator get a career started. The publications are impressive, but typical of an early-career, tenure-track faculty member. If I were in the business of divining the future, I would predict that this subject is very likely to satisfy Wikipedia notability in the future. As the IP de-PRODder said, there are important ''implications'', but we cannot get around  until those implications are realized. For the present, it is premature to have a biographical page
