Awards and recognition

Campbell has received an NSF CAREER Award, IBM Faculty Award, AT&T Faculty Award, Google Faculty Award and EPSRC Fellow Award. His group has received multiple 10 year impact awards, including the ACM SenSys Test of Time Award (2018) and the ACM SIGMOBILE Test of Time Award (2019) for their work on the CenceMe app (2008), the ACM Ubicomp 10 Year Impact Award (2022) for their work on the StressSense app. More recently, his group also received the ACM Ubicomp 10-Year Impact Award (2024) for their work on the StudentLife Study. The citation for this 10-Year Impact Award said, "This groundbreaking paper has had an exceptional influence and significant impact on the field. It pioneered the integration of mental health research with mobile data mining, addressing real-world challenges in innovative ways. The availability of the dataset to the community also exemplifies exemplary research practices."
