Craig Sutton is a mathematician with research interests in differential geometry. Much of Sutton's research is animated by questions concerning Lie group actions and spectral geometry. For instance, recently, he has been intrigued by nodal sets and nodal domains of (Laplace) eigenfunctions in the presence of symmetry. Beyond his role as a research mathematician and instructor, Sutton has served as the director of the Dartmouth's E.E. Just Program (January 2016 - Present), which seeks to create a STEM ecosystem in which systemically excluded and racialized minorities can thrive. From 2015 through 2023, he was the inaugural House Professor of School House, one of Dartmouth's six residential House Communities. During the 2023-2024 academic year, Sutton was a member at the Institute for Advanced Study (Princeton).
