Cathy Marshall is a Principal Researcher in Microsoft Research's Silicon Valley Lab. She is affiliated with the Center for Study of Digital Libraries at Texas A&M University.[1] She has led a series of projects investigating analytical work practices and collaborative hypertext, including two system development projects, Aquanet (named after the hairspray) and VIKI.[2] Marshall is mainly interested in studying human interaction when mediated by technology. From her early experiences with hypertext, Marshall discovered the negative effects of having analysts work with formal representation. Marshall learned that information which does not fit in formal representation gets lost as people try to force it into this area.[3] Cathy has a 20-year history working with hypertext.[4]

She worked at Xerox PARC for 11 years and Fuji Xerox Palo Alto Lab for one year. Cathy Marshall was also an adjunct professor in the Computer Science Department at Texas A&M University.[6]
