Notes
- Solved: the killer was Claudio Neves-Valente, who also carried out the Brown University shooting days earlier. They attended Instituto Superior Técnico in Lisbon at the same time in the 1990s. Neves-Valente was found dead (self-inflicted) in a storage unit in Salem, NH. Reported motive: fixation on a classmate's success.
- Field: fusion and plasma turbulence, i.e. public, open research. Doesn't fit the pattern once the killer is known.
