Research
[edit | edit source]Weber currently works with international agencies on developing new methodologies for monitoring international migration and digital gender gaps.
Migration
[edit | edit source]While at Yahoo! Research, Weber pioneered the use of geo-located email login data to study migration and mobility patterns.[14][15] He has since also analyzed data from Twitter and Google Plus for similar studies.[16][17]
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.[18][19]
Digital Gender Gaps
[edit | edit source]He works with the United Nations Foundation's Data2X initiative to study digital gender gaps, in particular internet access gender gaps.[20][21] With support by the Data2X initiative he helped create a website for real-time monitoring of different types of digital gender gaps.[22]
