Hi, I'm Karolina—a former geology graduate turned computer science student and researcher, passionate about data-driven insights and software development. I'm a 4th-year CS student with 2 years of research experience and 1 year of web development experience.

See my work at: https://karolina.codes

I began research after my first year, completing two summer research internships and continuing part-time as a research assistant. I have worked under two supervisors on separate projects:

🌐 AI Applications in Global Navigation Satellite Systems – Explored machine learning techniques to improve smartphone positioning accuracy. I found that KNN achieved 92% accuracy in classifying positioning data. My research laid the foundation for a conference publication, which uses Random Forest models to classify GNSS signals into line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS), improving precise point positioning (PPP) accuracy. https://www.ion.org/publications/abstract.cfm?articleID=19761

👧🏻 Citation Biases in Computing Literature – Conducted a large-scale analysis of 90,000+ papers from the top 100 software engineering journals, uncovering gender-based citation disparities. See the pre-print here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.02801
To address this, I am leading the development of CiteFairly, a web tool that analyzes citation biases and suggests research to diversify references. CiteFairly is built with Node.js, Express, React, Firebase, and the Semantic Scholar API to provide actionable insights for researchers.

Beyond research, I have developed multiple full-stack applications, including:

🎧 DJ WAMP Merch Store – A full e-commerce platform with product filtering, cart/checkout, account management, and an admin panel.
🌱 Daily Planning App – A Google Calendar-integrated tool that generates personalized daily reports.
🤝Mentor-Mentee App – Currently working on a cloud-based platform using microservices architecture on Azure, expanding my expertise in cloud technologies.
