As a child, Lucas Craig admired airplanes and helicopters; as an adult, he pursued his aeronautical degree and continued on with a Masters and PhD in Mechanical Engineering. Later, he spent some time as a scientist/engineer on an aircraft studying clouds. While he was attending graduate school at Clarkson, he found enjoyment in teaching classes and young students about aircraft sampling. This led him to the position he now has at SUNY Canton. Lucas enjoys teaching students, and he has always been trying to figure out improvements to enhance student learning.
