Noah Amsel is a PhD student in Computer Science at NYU and a research-focused software engineer with eight years of experience bridging theory and practice in deep learning, numerical analysis, and optimization. He has driven research projects at Adobe and Polymathic AI on agentic memory systems and transfer learning for physics-informed models, and built nonconvex optimization and network-simulation tools deployed at DOE and integrated into Qualcomm R&D. His work combines rigorous theory—published contributions to SIMODS on latent tree models—with pragmatic engineering that delivered order-of-magnitude speedups and productionized bandwidth and ABR improvements at Facebook. Comfortable moving from proofs to C++/Python implementations, he has a track record of extracting practical gains from theoretical ideas across domains like communication networks, phylogenetics, and fluid dynamics.
