Tracking Human Mobility using WiFi signals
When I started working on understanding social systems, privacy really wasn’t on my mind. (I generally want to write down equations, understand the universe and all that). But one of the central realizations arising from our SensibleDTU experiment is that privacy needs to be an important part of this kind of research. I’ve written about this…
