Title
SHELLY DIANE FARNHAM
Description
My research focuses on prototyping, deploying and evaluating social technologies designed to enhance communication, community, social networks, identity, knowledge sharing, and social coordination. The past seven years have been spent as a researcher in the Social Computing, Community Technologies, and Virtual Worlds Groups at Microsoft Research. I worked on several research tracks at MSR, ranging from prototypes focused on bootstrapping social networks from email behavior and mailing list memberships, to laboratory and field studies of uses of technology in people’s day-to-day social lives, to projects enabling mobile social coordination and networking. I earned my Ph.D. in Social Psychology at the University of Washington where I studied the interplay between the self-concept, social environments, and behavior, and my B.A. at Georgetown University where I double majored in psychology and art. I strongly believe that some of the most innovative technologies occur through collaborations between technologists and artists, and as such am very actively involved in Seattle arts/technology communities, serving as a board member and volunteer for several technology, arts and community not-for-profit organizations.
