Noah Trupin

I am a third-year undergraduate student at Purdue University studying computer science (honors) with a concentration in machine intelligence and a (completed) minor in mathematics. I am also a research assistant at the Cognitive Robot Autonomy and Learning Lab, advised by Zixing Wang and Ahmed Qureshi.

My current research involves constrained and optimal diffusion and language representations.

Some recent updates:

Dec 2025

Serving as TA for CS252: Systems Programming and CS240: Programming in C for Spring 2026.

Aug 2025

Serving as TA for CS180: Object-Oriented Programming for Fall 2025.

Jul 2025

Accepted offer to join Optiver as a software engineer intern for Summer 2026.

Jun 2025

Dynamic Robot Tool Use with Vision Language Models to appear at RSS 2025 workshop on Reasoning for Robust Robot Manipulation in the Open World.

May 2025

Joined Capital One as a software engineer intern.

Previously, I wrote some physics-informed operators for diffusion. I also built out the bank-side infrastructure for Google Autofill at Capital One, researched physics-constrained and VLM-informed robot task planning with CoRAL, designed parallel routines for solving large sparse systems in seismology with the Yang Group, developed experimental trading environments at Straato, built interactive physics simulation software for Sentinel, deployed sensors and modeled water quality data for endangered rivers with Stroud, and worked on optical music recognition and playback.

I have received awards from Purdue CS and L3Harris for my work.
