Dr. Steven P. Crain

I am an Assistant Professor in Computer Science at the lovely SUNY Plattsburgh [1] nestled in the Champlain Valley at the base of the Adirondack Mountains. When I am not working with students, I am often seen hiking in the mountains or sliding silently along a ski trail. (OK, so really I am seen in a jumbled up mess at the bottom of a small hill....) I am an aspiring 46er [2] and have hiked 12 of the 46 high peaks in the Adirondacks so far, though I am aiming to add 4 more this week.

My research area is machine learning, with a special interest in humanitarian applications. I often work with the Diabetes Hands Foundation [3] on search and recommendation projects. As a rule, I would rather focus on involving undergraduate students in my work than on churning out publications.
