CS Education && Outreach
As Emilie was a first-generation college student and identifies as a queer, non-binary woman in computer science, they understand the importance and urgency of addressing diversity, equity, and inclusion within the field. With their background, they relate to many who are just starting to learn to code, and strive to set an example for future computer scientists.

Purposeful Plans for Computer Science Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
During this ACM SIGCSE workshop, participants were supported through discussions that focus on specific areas of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Participants left the session with a purposeful plan inspired by new allies and frameworks from the Microsoft Philanthropies TEALS Program to address these issues within their own classrooms.

Cellular Automata (CA) Encryption Generator - 2013
This cellular automata encryption generator allows users to learn about CA encryption techniques in a visual manner. It allows the user to input any CA rule (mod 256) and set output preferences.
-
The idea of this discrete math library is to allow students to self-study various problems related to discrete math, such as set operations and relation classification. Emilie created a 64-bit JavaScript number library which was used to automate question generation.
