Noah Trupin

I'm a second-year student at Purdue University, where I study computer science with concentrations in machine intelligence and programming language, minor in math, serve as a teaching assistant for CS240: Programming in C, and do research in robot perception and planning.

I currently work at the Cognitive Robot Autonomy and Learning Lab.

Research

I research robot perception, planning, and tool use in the Cognitive Robot Autonomy and Learning Lab under Zixing Wang and Professor Ahmed Qureshi.

Previously, I investigated and implemented parallel algorithms for solving large sparse systems with Professor Xiaotao Yang in the Yang Group, developed a fault-tolerant framework for interactive physics simulations for Sentinel, deployed sensors and wrote machine learning algorithms to guide preservation of endangered rivers with Stroud, and applied Mathematica to optimal music recognition and playback at The Lawrenceville School.

Professional

Summer 2025, I will join Capital One as a software engineer intern.

Before, I built experimental trading environments as a founding engineer at Straato and hosted international hackathons with MEGA.

Teaching

All entries indicate teaching assistantships.

Awards

L3Harris Scholarship, L3Harris Technologies (2025)

CS Endowment Scholarship, Purdue University Department of Computer Science (2024)

Volunteering

During the 2021-2022 academic year, I taught internet literacy and basic web development to students from under-resourced primary schools in Lawrence Township.

In Fall 2021, I instructed Big Red Robotics (FTC 11166), The Lawrenceville School's robotics team, in Java and robot programming.

Misc.

On occasion, I do competitive programming. I started doing offline and unrated contests in high school and took Competitive Programming I and II at Purdue in Fall 2024 and Spring 2025, respectively.

I’m also a tea enthusiast. I'm quite font of Harney and Sons' Indigo Punch, Palais des thés Thé vert de Noël (out of season), citron tea with honey, and various other green and herbal teas.

The light-blue color used on this site matches Cinnamoroll's eye color.
