Biography
Truman State University - Computer Science
Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Providence College
John
Seiffertt
Providence, Rhode Island
I study artificial intelligence, natural language processing, and game theory. I aim to help students become creative, careful, and confident thinkers empowered to use computation to explore their interests. I am a writer and speaker living in historic New England.
I've published scholarship in top machine learning journals, spoken at international conferences, and written books for one of the biggest technical publishers in the world. I've won awards for my teaching and my writing. I won the grand prize in my local Easter egg hunt when I was only four years old. I'm an experienced academic, a former finance industry professional, and I speak on issues of AI, education, and blockchain technology.
Let's connect, because there are great things afoot.
Experience
Education
Missouri University of Science and Technology
Master of Science (MS)
Mathematics
I taught a lot of calculus and took a lot of Topology classes. The ordinals still haunt my dreams.Missouri University of Science and Technology
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Computer Engineering
I attended with the support of a Chancellor's Fellowship, presented at international conferences, and spent summers doing research at Los Alamos National Laboratory and the University of Ulm in Germany. I created a graduate course in Computational Intelligence and Game Theory and I published machine learning research in leading journals. It was a blast.University of Missouri-Saint Louis
Master of Arts (MA)
Economics
I received the Thorstein Veblen award for best graduate student writing. My interests were in agent-based computational modeling, monetary theory, and endogeneous preferences. Through this experience, I was able to spend time working in the Economics Research Division of the Federal Reserve Bank of St Louis. That afforded me the opportunity to drive past the beautiful gateway Arch every day. Why don't we build monuments anymore? Tis a shame.
