Professor and Research Librarian
About
Nandakumar treats research methods as a craft: a question you can actually answer, sources you can defend, and a citation trail someone else can follow. She built Cedarhaven’s undergraduate repository and will not let a student pick a Creative Commons license they cannot explain. Late-night finals hours are her favorite shift.
