Kyle Kloster is a Head of Computational Geometry with 12 years of experience bridging applied mathematics and software engineering to deliver production-ready geometry and automation tools for additive manufacturing. He leads teams at Carbon to build end-to-end pipelines—from lattice and CSG design to mesh operations, simulation, and automated print preparation including optimal packing and support generation. With a PhD-trained background in scalable data mining, graph algorithms, and linear algebra, he has a track record of turning research-grade algorithms into high-performance C++/Python systems used in industry. His prior academic roles at Purdue and NCSU included mentoring, teaching, and publishing widely-cited work on dense subgraph discovery and unsupervised learning, and he has repeatedly scaled algorithms to handle datasets orders of magnitude larger. Based in Palo Alto, he blends deep theoretical knowledge with practical engineering, often finding elegant mathematical shortcuts that unlock automation at manufacturing scale.
