About
Thomas Reichlmayr is a computing educator and accessibility researcher whose work has focused on broadening participation in technology fields, with particular emphasis on making computing education accessible to students with visual impairments. His most recognized contribution centers on the development of inclusive outreach activities designed to engage visually impaired students in university-level computing courses — a population historically underrepresented due to barriers such as insufficient precollege preparation, limited role models, and the inherently visual nature of many computing environments. Reichlmayr's research directly confronts these systemic challenges, exploring how assistive technology and thoughtfully designed educational experiences can help bridge the participation gap. His work in this area has accumulated over 30 citations, reflecting its meaningful influence on conversations around accessibility and equity in STEM education. By identifying and addressing the structural factors that discourage visually impaired students from pursuing computing, Reichlmayr has contributed a valuable perspective to the broader movement toward inclusive education — one that challenges educators and institutions to reconsider how computing curricula and outreach programs are designed and delivered.
