Noah Trupin

I am interested, broadly, in augmenting how agents learn and interact with the world from both systems and machine learning perspectives. My current research involves optimal decision policy and physics-constrained generative networks.

Misc.

I’m a tea enthusiast. I'm quite fond of Harney and Sons' Indigo Punch, ~~Palais des thés Thé vert de Noël~~ (out of season), Ippodo's various matchas, citron tea with honey (link soon), and various other teas.

The light-blue color that I used to use on this site matched Cinnamoroll's eye color.
