About Me

I am a Professor of Computer Science at Old Dominion University, where I’ve been on faculty since 2006. For an overview of my research direction for the past few years, see On the importance of web archiving, an article I wrote for SSRC Parameters in 2018. I’m currently featured on the ODU Faculty Women in STEM page, where you can read a bit about my background and experiences as a woman in computer science. (For more information, see my bio.)

Research Interests: web science, social media, web archiving, digital preservation, information visualization (see some student infovis projects in my infovis gallery)

Graduate Program Director

I am currently serving as the Graduate Program Director (GPD) for Administration in the Department of Computer Science. See our website for information on our graduate programs (Master’s Program, PhD Program). If you need to contact a CS GPD, please use csgpd@odu.edu.

Teaching

I will be on research leave for the Fall 2022 semester, but will return to teaching courses in Spring 2023.

Research

I’m a member of the ODU Web Science and Digital Libraries (WS-DL) Research Group.
