4 peer-reviewed journal articles (2 first-authored), 3 book chapters (1 first-authored), 16 abstracts (9 first-authored).
85 citations to his published work.
At least 2 peer reviews completed for authoritative journals.

NIW Approval and Outlook:
With approval of his NIW petition, skillfully prepared and filed by North America Immigration Law Group (NAILG), he is now positioned to continue his research in the United States.
