Best next moves
Confirm Michael Luesebrink against official UNLV staff pages
The strongest external check is a university directory. It should confirm title and department, or show a mismatch that changes the attribution score.
Check Michael Luesebrink’s Florida State University affiliation
His long FSU employment and degree history are key anchors. A matching faculty or staff page would strengthen identity resolution.
Review the weak Facebook candidate mike.luesebrink
This is only a name-similarity hit right now. A quick comparison of workplace, city, and photos would confirm whether it is unrelated.
Assess the weak Instagram candidate maxluesebrink
The Instagram search hit shares the surname but lacks corroborating context. It is worth a short check for bio, contacts, and photo reuse.
