Well, Krishna, those sure are a lot of nice words

Well, Krishna, those sure are a lot of nice words you wrote about yourself and your lackluster career. Any US patents and peer-reviewed publications in top tier journals to show for all your patting yourself on the back? At this point in your career, you wouldn't be a research associate at a small university if you were talented. Research associate is the kind of title given to students before graduation. If you were somewhat talented, you would be a visiting scientist or visiting scholar, but if you were really talented you would be given a professional work visa or green card so QMC wouldn't have to use an education visa to rent you from a small school under a contract with wasted overhead since you would be an official QMC company employee.
