    About

    Hello my name is Cole Campton. I was born and raised in Mill Valley, California. I graduated from Reed College with a B.A. in mathematics. While at Reed I wrote a thesis on the homological equivalence of discrete configure space models used in motion planning.

    I later completed a PhD at Duke University's Computer Science department where I tied mathematical modeling, optimization and machine learning together with applications to time series modeling.

    I currently work at Kodiak Ai, an autonomous commercial trucking company based in Mountain View, CA.

    I am interested in computer science, mathematics, rock climbing, coffee and lever espresso machines.

    Feel free to contact me. Let’s talk computer science and coffee.
