In this case, the client that we had the pleasure of working with was a Research Associate from China in the field of Electrical Engineering. His specialized research has focused on advancing artificial visual prosthesis technology and video-based interaction analysis. His work had resulted in 6 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 12 peer-reviewed conference papers, and 10 presentations at national and international conferences. At the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 243 times by researchers around the world, serving as apparent and objective evidence of his major influence and impact on the field of endeavor, in addition to his sustained international acclaim.
