I presented our work on Arabic and English news URIs dataset collection, news web pages' archival rate and comparing web archives' holdings at the 10th Computational Archival Science (CAS) Workshop (part of IEEE BigData 2025). @WebSciDL Trip report: ws-dl.blogspot.com/2026/02/2026-0…

I’m honored to receive the Dr. Irwin B. Levinstein Scholarship, awarded to graduate students for their academic achievements by @ODU! 🎓 A big thanks to Dr. Michael Nelson (@phonedude_mln) and everyone at @WebSciDL for their valuable support! 🙌 @oducs @ODUSCI

Presented our work “Examining Inclusive Computing Education for Blind Students in India” at #SIGCSE2026 @accessodu @WebSciDL @oducs

Big milestone for @Yasasi_Abey from @NirdsLab as she presents her PhD prospectus today. Excited to see her research vision take the next big step forward. 🎉📚 @WebSciDL @OpenMaze

For this blog post, I summarized Tessa Walsh, Henry Wilkinson, and @IlyaKreymer's paper, “High Fidelity Web Archiving of News Sites and New Media with Browsertrix.” @WebSciDL ws-dl.blogspot.com/2026/02/2026-0…

My most recent blog post: How to archive web pages in bulk using the Internet Archive Google Sheets service. The post simplifies the process and provides a python script to create and populate multiple Google Sheets with URLs saved in a text file ws-dl.blogspot.com/2026/02/2026-0… @WebSciDL

🤔Did you know the furthest time zones on Earth can be 26 hours apart, not just 24? 🌎🕓 This has real implications for interpreting timestamps in Twitter screenshots and searching tweets in web archives across time zones. 👉ws-dl.blogspot.com/2025/12/2025-1… @WebSciDL @oducs #WebArchives

In this blog post, I summarized Brenda Reyes Ayala's (@CamtheWicked) paper "Towards a better QA process: Automatic detection of quality problems in archived websites using visual comparisons". @WebSciDL ws-dl.blogspot.com/2026/01/2026-0…

I had the incredible opportunity to teach #WebSecurity at Old Dominion University! 🔐 I’ve written up my reflections on what worked well and what I learned along the way in a @WebSciDL blog. ws-dl.blogspot.com/2026/01/2026-0… #teaching @oducs

New position alert. Very excited to join the Perry Honors College @odu as the new Assistant Dean of Student Affairs, where I will spearhead undergraduate research, advising, and outreach. @NirdsLab @WebSciDL @oducs @ODUSCI

Congratulations Dr. Bhanuka Mahanama @mahanama94. @ODU Convocation Banner Carrier for the Doctoral students! @NirdsLab @WebSciDL @oducs

A PhD is more than research—it’s resilience. From Tables to Triumph: my journey in uncertainty-aware scientific data extraction and what it taught me about persistence and purpose. 📖 Read: ws-dl.blogspot.com/2025/12/2025-1… @WebSciDL @ODUSCI

Presented our work at the 32nd IEEE International Conference on High-Performance Computing and Data Analytics (HiPC 2025) in Hyderabad, India🇮🇳 Trip report: ws-dl.blogspot.com/2025/12/2025-1… @oducs @WebSciDL

@WebSciDL @ODU @ODUSCI @oducs @accessodu Title: Understanding Online Discussion Experiences of Blind Screen Reader Users (IJHCI 2025) Preprint: akshayknayak.vercel.app/Papers/ijhci25… DOI: doi.org/10.1080/104473… Authors: @jaf_ferdous, @AkshayKNayak7 , @LunaticBugbear, @Nithiyavenkat07, @OpenMaze, Hae-Na Lee, @vikas_daveb (5/5)

Online discussions are central to how we debate issues and build communities. For blind screen reader users, the hardest part is often not missing alt text, but keeping track of the conversation itself. (1/5) ws-dl.blogspot.com/2025/12/2025-1… /cc @WebSciDL @ODU @ODUSCI @oducs @accessodu

@jaf_ferdous is now presenting his PhD prospectus (proposal) on "Proxy Interfaces for Enhancing Non-Visual Web Usability". Zoom: odu.zoom.us/j/95142784104?… @accessodu @WebSciDL @oducs

My latest blog post highlights our work presented at #ASSETS2024, in which we studied how people with low vision interpret bar charts when using screen magnifiers and which design choices increase perception errors. @WebSciDL @accessodu ws-dl.blogspot.com/2025/12/2025-1…

My latest blog highlights our work, GraphLite, a mobile assistive tech that turns static charts into customizable, interactive visualizations for low-vision users. @WebSciDL @accessodu ws-dl.blogspot.com/2025/12/2025-1…

Our paper titled "Enhancing Clinical Note Generation with ICD-10, Clinical Ontology Knowledge Graphs, and Chain-of-Thought Prompting Using GPT-4" has been accepted by the J. of Comp. Biology. arxiv.org/abs/2512.05256 @WebSciDL

My third PhD student Kenny Ajayi graduates today! Congratulations! @WebSciDL
