My publications listed on other author (highly similar name) publication list I am an early stage researcher (just progressed into my first postdoc) and I have made some effort to keep my online presence (e.g. Google Scholar) correct and up to date. I have recently noticed that an author with a highly similar name (identical first and last name) has my publications listed in his google scholar page as well as his own. 

I have tried contacting the author directly as I have heard that someone that was interested in my work actually sent an e-mail to the other authors. However, the other author has not responded.

Should I contact google directly or am I overthinking this whole situation and should I just ignore it?
I suggest you create an ORCID, as it is meant exactly to solve homonymy.
