About

Rosta Farzan is a leading researcher in human-computer interaction and social computing, with a focus on how technology can foster community engagement and support diverse identities. Her work bridges computational methods and social science to understand and design systems that empower users, particularly in collaborative and educational contexts. A major contribution is her exploration of language and identity in voice-based technologies, exemplified by her work on "comic-boarding with children," which examines how language use reflects self-concept and group membership in human-agent dialogue. This research, though early in its citation impact, underscores her commitment to inclusive design. Farzan’s broader influence is evident in her studies of online communities and crowdsourcing, where she has investigated factors that sustain participation and trust. Her work has been recognized with awards from top venues like ACM CHI and CSCW, and she has served as a program chair for key conferences. With a citation count exceeding 2,000, Farzan’s insights continue to shape how we build technologies that respect and amplify human diversity.
