Published: June 30, 2019, 6 a.m.

How can Big Data give us the tools we need to study human behavior at scale? And what comes out from the intersection between social science and technology? In this episode of #LØRN Silvija speaks with Senior Data Scientist in Telenor Research, Johannes Bjelland, about how Telenor uses the data they collect as a network company, while staying within the frames of ethics and GDPR.


— One of our most exciting projects this past year, is mobility analytics. In this project we use telcoms data to measure pattern movements in large crowds. This enables us to study social physics at scale, he explains in the episode.
