Dr. Ivy Chen is a fictional researcher created for this demo repository and used to showcase how GlassScholar can present a modern academic homepage without exposing any real personal data.
This sample profile blends research, teaching, software, and public scholarship so users can quickly understand how to adapt the template for their own site. Every person, institution, project, and milestone shown here is fictional and included for demonstration only.
Each card highlights one stage of training, from foundational preparation to formal degree study.
Ph.D. in Computational Media
Dissertation work on explainable interfaces for scientific storytelling and collaborative sensemaking.
Combined design research, machine learning prototyping, and visualization studies to build interactive tools for climate communication and public-interest scholarship.
B.S. in Data Science and Digital Humanities
Undergraduate training in statistics, computation, design history, and public-facing digital scholarship.
Built a foundation in data analysis, visual communication, and archival interpretation through studio courses, lab work, and interdisciplinary seminars.
A reverse-chronological timeline of research, engineering, and independent builds.
Built an interactive narrative atlas that combines diary excerpts, neighborhood climate indicators, and annotated maps to show how residents describe heat stress in everyday life.
Tech Stack: TypeScript, D3.js, Mapbox GL JS, Python
Outcome: Used as a centerpiece example for explaining how GlassScholar can showcase research software and public-facing scholarship.
Designed a searchable interface for exploring fictional oral-history collections, with faceted browsing, transcript snippets, and visual timelines for curatorial storytelling.
Tech Stack: Python, Jekyll, Lunr.js, YAML
Outcome: Demonstrates a template-friendly project entry with concise methods, impact, and technical stack summaries.
Prototyped a briefing assistant that turns structured climate notes into layered summaries for policy, media, and classroom audiences while preserving uncertainty and provenance.
Tech Stack: Python, PyTorch, FastAPI, Observable
Outcome: Produced an internal demo used in workshops on responsible AI-assisted communication.
Created a lightweight publishing workflow for students to document prototypes, failed experiments, and reflection notes in a consistent, versioned format.
Tech Stack: Markdown, Jekyll, GitHub Actions
Outcome: Adapted by a graduate studio as its shared documentation system.
Developed a classroom companion site with reading annotations, discussion prompts, and live feedback widgets for seminars on technology and society.
Tech Stack: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Firebase
Outcome: Helped instructors trial more participatory seminar formats in a fictional teaching setting.
Explored how citation patterns shift across language communities by linking translated titles, publication venues, and thematic clusters in an interactive network view.
Tech Stack: Python, NetworkX, Vega-Lite
Outcome: Serves as an example of how to present exploratory analysis work on a personal academic homepage.
