In Memory of Doug Tygar
Professor Doug Tygar passed away unexpectedly on January 16, 2020.
Doug was a valued community member, teacher, and researcher. His work made unique and significant contributions to the fields of usable computer security, cryptography, privacy, and digital rights management. As a colleague, his sharp sense of humor, infectious laugh, and encyclopedic knowledge of all things Berkeley are irreplaceable. He will be sorely missed.
We invite you to share your memories of and tributes to Doug Tygar.

Following on Nancy’s post about the dean selection process: Doug lured me into the Dean job, and then became an important source of moral support. He was an incredibly savvy observer of university politics, he was deeply committed to the I School—our mission, our students, our success—and he could recite even the most obscure passages from the APM by heart! Faculty meetings won’t be the same without Doug’s sharp mind and quick wit. I’ll miss him terribly.
