Web Science and Digital Libraries Research Group

Last Wednesday, August 9, 2017, I was invited to give a talk to some summer interns of the Computer Science Department at Old Dominion University. Every summer our department invites some undergrad students from India and hosts them for about a month to work on some projects under a research lab here as summer interns. During this period, various research groups introduce their work to those interns to encourage them to become potential graduate applicants. Those interns also act as academic ambassadors who motivate their colleagues back in India for higher studies. This year, Mr. Ajay Gupta invited a group of 20 students from  Acharya Institute of Technology and B.N.M. Institute of Technology and supervised them during their stay at  Old Dominion University . Like the last year, I was selected from the Web Science and Digital Libraries Research Group again to introduce them with the concept of web archiving and various researches of our lab. An overview of the talk ...

For the last few years the Department of Computer Science at Old Dominion University invites a group of undergrad students from India and hosts them in the summer. They work closely with a research group on some relevant projects. Additionally, researchers from different research groups in the departments present their work to the guest students twice a week and introduce various different projects that they are working on. The goal of this practice is to allow them to collaborate with graduate students of the department and to encourage them for research studies. The invited students also act as ambassadors to share their experience with their colleagues and spread the word out when they go back to India. This year a group of 16 students from Acharya Institute of Technology and B.N.M. Institute of Technology  visited Old Dominion University , they were hosted under the supervision of Ajay Gupta . They worked in the areas of Sensor Networks and Mobil Application Develop...
