Dreams rarely ask where you start. They ask how far you are willing to go. I wrote about how my journey from a small town led me across continents, classrooms, and research labs to earning my Ph.D. in Computer Science in the U.S. Read the full journey here: ws-dl.blogspot.com/2026/06/2026-0… Grateful to everyone who guided, supported, and believed in me. Thank you @accessodu @WebSciDL @oducs @ODUSCI @ODU.

Today I presented my research work on "Advanced Eye-tracking Metrics for Analyzing Joint Visual Attention and Joint Mental Attention" at the JCDL 2024 Doctoral Consortium. @WebSciDL @NirdsLab #JCDL_2024

I presented our poster paper "Toward Automatically Improving Metadata Quality of Electronic Theses and Dissertations at Scale" at IEEE Big Data 2024 today. Many thanks to my advisor, @JianWu14498049 , for his guidance and support! @WebSciDL @sudobear

.@mk344567 prospectus defense focuses on improving web accessibility for blind screen reader users. His research addresses the underexplored domains of online user discussions and web archives, revealing major usability gaps. /cc @WebSciDL @ODU @ODUSCI @oducs @accessodu

Great post by @LunaticBugbear on his experience with post-OCR correction! It's a valuable resource for understanding the process, key things to watch out for, the tools available, and the current state of the art. Thanks for sharing your insights! @WebSciDL @accessodu

@Yasasi_Abey @mahanama94 @NirdsLab @WebSciDL @oducs Congratulations Bhanuka @mahanama94 for a successful Ph.D. proposal defence! On to the next steps! @WebSciDL @oducs @ODUSCI

.@mahanama94 is now presenting his dissertation prospectus, "Multi-Eyes: A Framework for Multi-User Eye-Tracking". @NirdsLab @WebSciDL @oducs

.@LunaticBugbear's prospectus defense explores improving data usability for BVI users. His work focuses on enhancing data search with assistive tech and better sense-making of visualizations, advancing Human-Data Interaction. /cc @WebSciDL @ODU @ODUSCI @oducs @accessodu

I am glad to annouce that my student Xin Wei passed her prospectus defense today, a new milestone toward the final doctoral dissertation defense! The title is Semantic Information Extraction from Scholarly Documents and Applications. @WebSciDL @ODUSCI @oducs

Happening now: @tarannum_zaki presenting her candidacy exam, 'Web Archives for Verifying Attribution in Twitter Screenshots'. Her work uses the live web & web archives to determine the authenticity of Twitter screenshots shared by users. @WebSciDL @oducs @weiglemc @phonedude_mln

Exciting work by @tarannum_zaki presented in her candidacy exam: "Web Archives for Verifying Attribution in Twitter Screenshots." An innovative approach to authenticate tweet screenshots, tackling misinformation on social media. @WebSciDL @oducs @weiglemc @phonedude_mln
