About
Carey M. Rappaport is a leading authority in computational electromagnetics and sensing technologies, with a distinguished career focused on advancing ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and subsurface imaging. His pioneering work has been instrumental in developing innovative techniques for humanitarian demining, particularly through the use of multi-bistatic ground-coupled GPR to localize anti-personnel landmines. This approach overcomes the limitations of conventional air-coupled systems by enhancing detection of both metallic and non-metallic casings, a critical capability for clearing post-conflict zones. With over 3,000 citations to his name, Rappaport’s research spans electromagnetic wave propagation, antenna design, and inverse scattering, yielding transformative contributions to security, medical imaging, and infrastructure assessment. He has also made notable strides in terahertz imaging and microwave breast cancer detection, demonstrating the breadth of his impact. As a professor at Northeastern University, Rappaport has mentored generations of engineers, and his work on computational modeling has set new standards for accuracy in simulating complex electromagnetic environments. His dedication to solving real-world humanitarian challenges underscores a career defined by both technical rigor and societal benefit.
