Ingmar Weber is a German computer scientist known for his research on Computational Social Science in which he uses online data to study population behavior. He is the Research Director for Social Computing[1] at the Qatar Computing Research Institute. He serves as editor-in-chief for the International Conference on Web and Social Media.[2][3] Weber is also an ACM Distinguished Speaker.[4] Weber’s research has been widely covered in the media.[5][6][7][8][9]
Research
[edit]Weber currently works with international agencies on developing new methodologies for monitoring international migration and digital gender gaps.
Migration
[edit]While at Yahoo Research, Weber pioneered the use of geo-located email login data to study migration and mobility patterns.[10][11] He has since also analyzed data from Twitter and Google Plus for similar studies.[12][13]
He now works with experts at the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre and International Organization for Migration to use Facebook’s advertising audience estimates to obtain timely insights into migration flows.[14][15]
Digital Gender Gaps
[edit]He works with the United Nations Foundation’s Data2X initiative to study digital gender gaps, in particular internet access gender gaps.[16][17] With support by the Data2X initiative he helped create a website for real-time monitoring of different types of digital gender gaps.[18]
