Article's vanispampuffery content is so high it could be nominated for speedy deletion as spam. References are to primary sources, nothing the subject does guarantees automatic notability, and a quick search of the internet reveals nothing to make him pass the GNG. I keep running into articles like this from
Singularity University people, and I hope that's a coincidence.

Delete With grudging compliments to the different SPAs that over the years have "maintained" this article: at first sight this looks like an impressive academic. Until you actually start reading... Lots of puffery, nothing of substance. --

Delete. Teasing out the academic impact is made a bit harder as there is an homonym working at the Mayo Clinic and University of Minnesota, but the impact seems short of
WP:Prof in any case. Going five SERPs deep, I could not find evidence satisfying
WP:BIO either; some talks, but no
WP:RS about the subject.

Delete. I see a lot of self-promotion and minor awards, none of which are bad things in themselves but they don't add up to notability. No evidence of passing
WP:PROF. And we don't have the in-depth coverage in reliable sources needed for
WP:GNG. —
