Andrew Thomas Campbell (born 15 May 1959) is a computer scientist who works in the field of ubiquitous computing. He is best known for his research on mobile sensing, applied machine learning and human behavioral modeling.[1]

Campbell is the Albert Bradley 1915 Third Century professor in computer science at Dartmouth College. He joined Dartmouth Computer Science in 2005 after spending 10 years as a professor of Electrical Engineering at Columbia University. Prior to being on the faculty at Columbia, Campbell spent 10 years in the software industry working on the research and development of wireless networks and operating systems. He has worked on digital health as a visiting research scientist in the Android group at Google and at Verily Life Sciences.[2]

Campbell has received a number of awards including the ACM SIGMOBILE Test of Time Paper Award for pioneering sensing and machine learning on smartphones.[3]

Personal life

Campbell was born in Coventry, England, on 15 May 1959. He received a BSc in Mechanical Engineering from Aston University (1981) and then an MSc. in Computer Science from City, University of London. He worked in the software industry for a decade in England, the Netherlands and the USA before returning to university. He received his PhD in Computer Science from Lancaster University (1996).[2]

He started as an assistant professor of Electrical Engineering at Columbia University in 1996 and was promoted to an associated professor with tenure in 2003. After a sabbatical year as a visiting professor at Cambridge University, he joined Dartmouth College in 2005. In 2018, he was named the Albert Bradley 1915 Third Century professor at Dartmouth College.[2]

Career

Campbell is best known for his work in ubiquitous computing, where he and his students first implemented sensing and machine learning algorithms on the iPhone when it was released in 2007.[4] [3] He is also known for the development of the StudentLife app (2014).[5]

At Dartmouth, he led the StudentLife Study[6] tracking 200 undergraduate students across their 4 years of college using smartphone sensing and brain imaging[7] to better understand the dynamics of mental health of students across their college years.[8] [9] [10] This study was also the first to use mobile sensing to capture the impact of COVID-19 on student behavior and mental health outcomes during the pandemic.[11] He has also studied mental health and performance in the workplace using mobile sensing.[12]

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 received the ACM ACM SenSys Test of Time Award (2018)[13] and the ACM SIGMOBILE Test of Time Award (2019) for their work on the CenceMe app (2008).[4]
