  • The COVID-19 pandemic harshly tested decades of preparedness and scientific progress. Yet, its unprecedented nature catalyzed a major shift in the use of mobility data from mobile phones—from a traditional approach for mapping spatial disease transmission to an operational proxy for inferring social distancing and behavioral adaptation. Drawing on our experience during the pandemic response, this talk will explore how mobility data became essential for real-time assessment of intervention impact, monitoring of behavioral response, and informing public health decision-making—alongside its constraints and limitations.

Collecting and sharing human data with meaningful privacy protection.

Keynote Chair: Pedro Velloso (CNAM)

  • Luc Rocher
    Luc Rocher ↗
    Senior researcher at the University of Oxford.
    Thu, Oct 9 · 09:00–10:00
  • Mobile phone data has revolutionised our understanding of human mobility, social networks, and urban dynamics. However, the privacy protections we rely on when working with call detail records, location traces, and behavioural data may be far weaker than commonly assumed. In this talk, Luc Rocher will examine vulnerabilities in anonymisation techniques applied to large-scale datasets and discuss how to best use sensitive data. The talk will address critical questions for the mobile phone data research community: What makes some individuals more vulnerable than others to privacy attacks? How can we balance usability and reproducibility with genuine data protection?
