The total evidence for notability seems to be the publication record here, which consists of only about a dozen conference presentations, but no peer-reviewed papers. I do not see how that makes for being an authority in the field, and I see no evidence for meeting WP:BIO. (BTW, I found this through random article checks exploring Mangus' bio tool. FWIW, most of what I saw there seems to be either OK as it is, or easily improvable. -- the format for getting relevant data for improving any specific BLP is, for example, http://toolserver.org/~magnus/save_a_blp.php?page=Samuel_Johnson -- using a FA as the example.

Delete. A new researcher (Ph.D. 2008) with the kind of research portfolio one would expect for being so new. Has not yet had time to develop the impact needed to pass WP:PROF #1. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:25, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
