Sherae L. Daniel completed her PhD in Information Systems with a minor in Econometrics from the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business. Her dissertation, titled "The Effect of Absorptive Capacity on Open Source Software Development," examines how characteristics of the developer and user communities contribute to the success of open source software projects. In addition to open source software development, her research interests include online communities, electronic commerce, and statistics and econometrics.

While completing her degrees, Daniel worked several summers in software development and analysis at the AT&T Research Laboratory in Middletown, New Jersey. In the spring of 2002, she worked in the Computational Sciences and Mathematics Research Department at Sandia National Laboratories, California, a government owned/contractor operated facility that develops science-based technologies to support the national security of the United States of America.
