Algorithms for Quantifying Human Behavioral Dynamics from Smartphone Sensor Data

Computers and computer systems are not independent of human behaviour. Where we are and what we do drives placement and algorithms in both physical and virtual infrastructure. The impact of these behaviours extend beyond computer science to civil engineering and architecture (where we are and how we move through space?), public health fields (for how long and with whom have we been in contact?), and even the social sciences (how is mobility mediated by space?). Many of these behaviours are anchored in where we are, who we are with, and what we are doing. Understanding where people are and who they are with helps modelers who seek to better understand the use of space or the spread of disease, wireless network designers looking to provide better more responsive service, and even social robots understand where and when they might meet specific individuals.
