Back from a great trip to Australia 🇦🇺. Presented at the #IPC2025, shared our DEBIAS work on human mobility📱and revisited my PhD home at UQ.

Delivered seminars at UQ and Griffith University—fantastic discussions on mobility, data science & climate change.

V happy to see our project DEBIAS with @carmen-cabrera.bsky.social featured by @UKRI_News @SmartDataRes. Mobile phone data have transformed how we understand cities & populations. But they are biased.

DEBIAS aims to correct biases in mobility patterns derived from these data.
