However, in his doctoral dissertation submitted in the year 2013, he had expressed his gratitude to Klug for the help and assistance he rendered to him for his paper.

She says Klug was so much more than her soul mate and knowing so many others share her sorrow has provided comfort.
A campus vigil for Klug will be held later Thursday night.
Klug, 39, was an associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering and had been the target of Mainak Sarkar’s anger on social media for months, the paper said.
Officials have not identified the female victim or whether she was still married to Sarkar at the time of the shootings. Authorities checked the residence of the woman in the nearby town of Brooklyn Park and found her body. No previous calls to been placed relating to Hasti or Sarkar, police said.
Gordy Aune Jr., who lives three doors away and is the neighborhood watch commander, told the AP Hasti lived with her father.
A neighbor confirmed Hasti married Sarkar in June 2011.
William Klug is seen here in this undated file photo. It’s titled, “Coupled Cardiac Electrophysiology and Contraction using Finite Element”.
Police found a note in Sarkar’s backpack, which led them to Minnesota where they found a “kill list”. There police discovered the “kill list” and tracked down Hasti’s body. Classes at UCLA resumed Thursday for most of the school, except for the engineering department, whose students and faculty will return Monday, following Wednesday’s fatal shooting.
The shooting has shaken the UCLA community and left many feeling uneasy. “He turned into a completely different person in these last few days or weeks or whatever”, Eldredge said.
Beck further added. “He arrived at the UCLA campus heavily armed”. It’s unclear whether that is the weapon he then used to shoot himself in Engineering Building IV on the campus.
On Friday, the medical examiner released its report on Hasti’s death, saying she died of multiple gunshot wounds, while ruling her death a homicide. “But you never think it’s going to happen on the campus where you are”, UCLA professor Mario Picazo, said.
It ends with: “Your enemy is your enemy. But yes, he was not the type who would go around and make friends very quickly”, she said. “Be careful about who you trust”.
Authorities did not publicly identify the unharmed professor or the woman.

Colleagues and a former schoolteacher of Indian-American Mainak Sarkar have expressed shock and sadness over news of the researcher fatally shooting his wife and a University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) professor before turning the gun on himself. Investigators later described Sarkar writing up a “kill list” found at his home in Minnesota which included the names of two professors and a woman who was later found dead in Minnesota.
