Lampe currently advises graduate and undergraduate students in the areas of online harassment, incivility online, and civic engagement online. [4] He has developed a citizen interaction course that partners students with local communities to design technologies that support community needs. Lampe received a grant from the National Science Foundation in 2009 to pursue his work on "the role of social network sites in facilitating collaborative processes". [5] He received a grant from the University of Michigan Third Century Initiative in 2013 to support his Citizen Interaction project. [6]

He is a frequent consultant, speaker, and guest lecturer on topics related to social media and online behavior. He is regularly cited in the press on topics like fake news, privacy, and trolling. He was the technical program chair for the 2016 ACM SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems [7] and the General Co-Chair for the 2022 ACM SIGCHI Conference. [8]

Awards

In 2013, Lampe (with Eytan Adar and Paul Resnick) received a Google Award for his "MTogether: A Living Lab For Social Media Research" project. [9]

In 2014, Lampe received the Joan Durrance Community Engagement Award for his Citizen Interaction Design program. [10]

He was named as an ACM Fellow, in the 2024 class of fellows, "for contributions on social network systems, and outstanding leadership in the ACM SIGCHI community". [11]
