The Invisible Barrier in STEM: One researcher's method to make Mathematics readable for everyone


Krishna Kumar's semantic enrichment technique for MathML is quietly rewriting the rules of digital accessibility, and the global tech community is taking notice. MathJax solved the visual rendering problem, but it quietly created a new accessibility divide in doing so. Kumar's semantic tree is built bottom-up using heuristics designed for arbitrary mathematical notation. Making mathematics genuinely readable for all of them is not a niche engineering problem. Krishna Kumar's paper, "Enhancing Web Accessibility for Mathematics Through Semantic Enrichment of MathML," is published on IEEE Xplore.
