My research focuses on long-term data preservation, digital archiving, and the application of digital forensics tools and techniques to archival and preservation data analysis and management. I am interested in interdisciplinary approaches that combine expertise in the areas of archiving, computer science, and digital forensics in enabling and maintaining access to digital objects that are at risk due to obsolescence. I've served most recently as a Research Scientist in the [//sils.unc.edu/ School of Information and Library Science] at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

'''Welcome to Kam Woods' site.'''


I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from [//luddy.indiana.edu/ Indiana University] in Bloomington in August 2010, my Masters in Computer Science from [//www.ecs.baylor.edu/ Baylor University] in 2005, and my Bachelors with a major in Computer Science from [//www.swarthmore.edu/ Swarthmore College] in 2002.
My research interests include long-term digital preservation, applications of machine learning and digital forensics tools and techniques to archival and preservation data management, and private and sensitive data identification and redaction. [[Bio|Read my full bio here.]]


At UNC, I was the Technical Lead on a series of grant funded projects from 2010-2022. From 2021 to 2022, I managed the software development efforts for [//sils.unc.edu/news/2021/nsf-carascap CARASCAP: Computer-Assisted Redaction and Anonymization of Scholarly Communications and Products]. From 2018 to 2021, I led development efforts for the [//ratom.web.unc.edu Review, Appraisal, and Triage of Mail] project, an Andrew W. Mellon grant funded research initiative under the direction of PI Christopher A. Lee. I previously worked with Cal Lee on the Andrew W. Mellon grant funded BitCurator NLP, BitCurator Access, and BitCurator projects. Prior to that, I served as a research associate working on the development of educational materials to support the use of realistic forensic datasets in professional training and to identify and explore novel uses of forensic data and tools in the context of digital archives. This work was performed in collaboration with [//www.simson.net/ Simson Garfinkel] at the [//www.nps.edu/ Naval Postgraduate School], supported by NSF Award DUE-0919593.

In the [//soic.indiana.edu/ School of Informatics] at [//www.iub.edu Indiana University] I worked with [//www.cs.indiana.edu/~geobrown Dr. Geoffrey Brown] on the development and evaluation of tools and techniques for long-term digital preservation. This included systems for high-performance automated format migration, low-risk file format identification, and archival handling of legacy removable media. In particular, I developed software and preservation practices to support low-risk imaging, storage, and format migration routines for legacy optical and magnetic media. Additionally, I have examined novel ways of using open source emulation platforms to quantify failure conditions when accessing executable artworks compiled for legacy hardware platforms.
