ISR alum Wade Trappe earns tenure at Rutgers

ISR alum Wade Trappe has been promoted to Associate Professor with tenure in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Rutgers University.

Trappe earned his M.S. in 1999 and a Ph.D. in applied mathematics and scientific computing in 2002; he was affiliated with both ISR and the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, and was advised by Professor K.J. Ray Liu (ECE/ISR).

His research focuses primarily on wireless security, ad hoc and sensor network security, and multimedia security. He co-authored Multimedia Fingerprinting Forensics for Traitor Tracing, a book on multimedia forensics, with Dr. Liu, ISR-affiliated Associate Professor Min Wu (ECE/UMIACS) and alumna Jane Wang.

A book that Trappe co-wrote with Math Department Professor Lawrence C. Washington in 2001 has been updated in a second edition. Introduction to Cryptography with Coding Theory grew out of a cryptography class the two developed at the University of Maryland.
