His publications had been cited at least 38 times at the time we filed the case; nearly all of the citations were by independent researchers around the world, demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field. He has also been invited to perform peer-review work for some of the leading journals in his field. As stated by one independent recommender, “The meticulous design of his experiments and the quality of their results show that he has an understanding of his subject and a vision towards its application to a greater extent than most. Judging by these abilities and how he has used them so far, [client] is certain to be a major figure in system control research for many years to come.” Through extensive documentation, we were able to successfully argue that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience.
