Vanessa Frias-Martinez, Ph.D.
Bio
I'm interested in social computing with a focus on the intersection between big data, policy and social development. I combine data mining and applied machine learning techniques to extract socially significant information from digital traces of mobile and ubiquitous technologies. My ultimate goal is to reveal behavioral fingerprints that might be useful to organizations and policy makers working for social development.
