By Media RelationsThe Cheriton School of Computer Science Distinguished Lecture Series presents “Small, n=me, data” – a free public lecture by Professor Deborah Estrin from Cornell University.
Professor Estrin considers a new kind of cloud-based app that would create a picture of an individual’s behavior over time by continuously, securely and privately analyzing the digital traces generated through interaction with mobile and other online technology.
What if these individual traces could be available to the person who generates them? They might fuel apps that offer us personalized, data-driven insights into our own habits and habitats, with enormous potential for mobile health.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within the Office of Indigenous Relations.
