https://www.newsweek.com/mit-professor-f...h-11226085
EXCERPTS: The fatal shooting of professor Nuno Loureiro of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has prompted an outpouring of grief from the scientific community and renewed attention on his scientific legacy.
Loureiro, a leading plasma physicist and director of MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center, was known for research tied to fusion energy and astrophysical plasma dynamics.
[...] In January this year, Loureiro was among 11 MIT faculty members awarded the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers, one of the U.S. government’s highest honors for early-career researchers, recognizing his work on magnetic fields and plasma physics.
[...] As director of MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center, Loureiro oversaw research programs aimed at improving the scientific understanding needed for future fusion energy systems.
In June this year, he was quoted in an MIT announcement about a new facility designed to accelerate fusion research, describing it as an effort to address “the most complex fusion technology challenges” tied to the global energy transition.
[...] Authorities have released limited information as the investigation into Loureiro’s death remains ongoing. Investigators have confirmed the case is being treated as a homicide, but as of Tuesday evening, no suspect had been taken into custody and officials have not released details about a possible motive...
