I don't see any evidence that the subject passes WP:NPROF or GNG. Assistant professors are rarely notable and this doesn't seem to be an exception - his most highly cited paper has 65 citations, which is far from satisfying WP:NPROF#C1, especially in a high-citation field. The citations in the article comprise primary sources, his own works, and news items in which he provides a quote in passing - there's no independent biographical coverage of the subject himself. The article appears to have been the subject of extensive COI/UPE editing, which wouldn't be a reason to delete it if it were actually notable, but which furthers the impression that the topic doesn't meet our standards for inclusion.

Delete, clearly not a WP:NPROF pass and I don't see WP:GNG coverage either. -- asilvering (talk) 22:03, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I agree with everything the nominator says: we do not have a pass of WP:PROF based on citations or anything else, nor any reason for a separate pass of WP:GNG, and the editing history is also problematic. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:04, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
