It appears that his feature is not active yet.
I also appear under two names in the database - in my case the reason is that my name actually changed. DBLP knows that both names refer to the same person, but Microsoft Academic Search doesn't:
http://academic.research.microsoft.com/Author/154726.aspx
http://academic.research.microsoft.com/Author/294819.aspx
Interestingly, the system found a correct photo for both authors, but didn't realize they were identical :-)
Could those please be merged (the first is the new and current correct name)?
Wednesday, November 10, 2010 3:28 AM -
Could you please merge those two identities, please?
The final name should be "Luca Brayda" but I will make the necessary modifications.

I'm also this one: http://academic.research.microsoft.com/Author/3485022.aspxCould you fix it? Of course, you need to find a better way of doing this than doing it one by one... good luck with the project, it looks very good and potentially useful!

Great acadamic search service!
Unfortunately, I appear also under different aliases:
1. http://academic.research.microsoft.com/Author/9425215
2. http://academic.research.microsoft.com/Author/4386754
It would be great if you could merge them to the latter one.
Thanks!
