Web Science and Digital Libraries Research Group

I am Kritika Garg, a first-year Ph.D. student at Old Dominion University. My research interests are in the fields of web archiving, social media, and natural language processing. I joined the Old Dominion University in the fall of 2019 under the supervision of Dr. Michael L. Nelson and Dr. Michele C. Weigle . I work with Web Science and Digital Libraries Research Group (WS-DL) where our focus is in the fields of web archiving, digital preservation, social media, and human-computer interaction. My current research work is in the field of web archiving, including analyzing access patterns of robots and humans in web archives and studying whether the patterns prevalent with the Internet Archive are present across different web archives. I completed my undergrad from  Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University  in June 2019. During my undergrad, I started attending various tech events by tech-groups such as  Google Developer Group ,  PyDelhi ,  Women Techmakers,   Women Who Code ,
