NEW DOUBTS QUESTIONING HIS OUTSTANDING ACCOMPLISHMENTS HAVE SURFACED and REMAIN UNANSWERED

There are a number of dedicated web sites out there, debunking the claims plastered all over Emeagwali web pages. I had to take a closer look because if the achievements Emeagwali attributed to himself are really overstated, exaggerated or even false, it changes everything about who he really is. He is an icon to a lot of up and coming scientists in the developing World, but based on some of contradictoryfacts uncovered, Emeagwali might be all “HYPE” !

-Issue #1:
Emeagwali did not make the “world’s fastest computation” in 1989. Instead he received a prize for the Price/Performance award ( by default !)

-Issue #2:
The Gordon Bell Award in computing is not the equivalent of the Nobel Prize

-Issue #3:
The “Connection Machine” was not invented by Emeagwali

-Issue #4:
Emeagwali says he has a lot of patents or patent applications, but none can be traced trough The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

-Issue #5:
“Dr. Emeagwali”  never got his PH.D. In fact it appears he did enrolled in a PhD program at the University of Michigan, but failed his qualification examinations twice and had his thesis rejected by a committee of faculty members.

Overall, these are just a couple of issues arising from his claim to fame all over the computing world. But it is only a part of the man. These issues do not represent the full scope of who Emeagwali is all about, although one can question his character.
