United States

This is an example of a link.

Abbreviation Tag

The abbreviation CSS stands for “Cascading Style Sheets”.

Cite Tag

Code Tag

You will learn later on in these tests that word-wrap: break-word; will be your best friend.

Strike Tag

This tag will let you strikeout text.

Emphasize Tag

The emphasize tag should italicize text.

Insert Tag

This tag should denote inserted text.

Keyboard Tag

This scarcely known tag emulates keyboard text, which is usually styled like the <code> tag.

Preformatted Tag

This tag styles large blocks of code.

.post-title {
  margin: 0 0 5px;
  font-weight: bold;
  font-size: 38px;
  line-height: 1.2;
  and here's a line of some really, really, really, really long text, just to see how the PRE tag handles it and to find out how it overflows;
}

Quote Tag

Developers, developers, developers… –Steve Ballmer

Strong Tag

This tag shows bold text.

Subscript Tag

Getting our science styling on with H2O, which should push the “2” down.

Superscript Tag

Still sticking with science and Isaac Newton’s E = MC2, which should lift the 2 up.

Variable Tag

This allows you to denote variables.

About Me

I am a Professor of Computer Science at Old Dominion University. I serve as the Assistant Chair for Graduate Programs and Research and the Graduate Program Director (GPD) for the PhD Program in the Department of Computer Science. See our website for information on our graduate programs (MS, PhD). If you need to contact a CS GPD, please use csgpd@odu.edu.

For an overview of my research over the past few years, see On the importance of web archiving, an article I wrote for SSRC Parameters in 2018. I recently gave an interview covering my background, our research group, and challenges facing web archive collections for the National Library of Medicine’s Circulating Now blog. I’m currently featured on the ODU Faculty Women in STEM page, where you can read a bit more about my background and experiences as a woman in computer science. For more information on my education and work experience, see my bio.

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