Levi Harris

👋 Hello! I am an incoming Ph.D. candidate in Interdisciplinary Engineering (CEE & ECE) at Northeastern University, advised by Auroop Ganguly, with co-advising from Edward Beighley and Jennifer Dy. Today, my research concerns precipitation—developing techniques to predict rainfall now (estimation) and in the very near future (nowcasting). Unfortunately, time devoted to these problems tends to create more questions than it answers, namely:

1. When and why do meteorological datasets diverge from the physical truth?
2. Can machine learning techniques provide operational utility under uncertainty or at extremes?
3. Do imperfect and incomplete weather observations create or hide risk?

The ultimate goal of my work is to reduce impacts by generating useful tools and text for the real experts. If you have any questions or other inquiries, please send me an email, and I’ll respond as soon as practical!
