We are thrilled to announce that Professor Ralucca Gera has been promoted to Full Professor of Mathematics on July 2018. This well-deserved promotion is a testament to Professor Gera's exceptional instructional dedication, innovative research, and outstanding contributions to the field of graph theory and network science. Congratulations to Professor Gera on this remarkable achievement!
Congratulations to Prof. Ralucca Gera for her new book with Teresa W. Haynes and Stephen T. Hedetniemi. This volume
Describes the origin and history behind conjectures and problems in graph theory
Provides various methods to solving research problems in the field
Provides strong pedagogical content for graduate students and a reference to researchers in the field
Prof. Pante Stanica and Assistant Prof. (CDR) Thor Martinsen from the Applied Math department at NPS, along with Dr. Wilfried Meidl from RICAM - Johann Radon Institute of Computational and Applied Mathematics (Linz, Austria) and Prof. Alexander Pott of Otto von Guericke Universität, Fakultät für Mathematik (Magdeburg, Germany) won the best paper award for their paper "On symmetry and differential properties of generalized Boolean functions" at the 7th International Workshop on the Arithmetic of Finite Fields (WAIFI) in Bergen, Norway, June 14-16, 2018. Their winning submission along with other selected papers will appear in a forthcoming volume of Lecture Notes in Computer Science conference proceedings published by Springer.
Prof. Pante Stanica co-authored (with T.W. Cusick) the second edition of his book on Cryptographic Boolean Functions and Applications, published by Elsevier-Academic Press. Boolean functions are the building blocks of symmetric cryptographic systems. Symmetrical cryptographic algorithms are fundamental tools in the design of all types of digital security systems (i.e. communications, financial and e-commerce). The book is a concise reference that shows how Boolean functions are used in cryptography. Currently, practitioners who need to apply Boolean functions in the design of cryptographic algorithms and protocols need to patch together needed information from a variety of resources (books, journal articles and other sources). This book compiles the key essential information in one easy to use, step-by-step reference.
