Dr Amir Haroon

Amir Haroon is assistant research faculty at the Hawaii Institute of Geophysics and Planetology at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. He specializes in the development of advanced geophysical systems for imaging complex coastal aquifer systems, both onshore and offshore. His work focuses on integrating instrumentation design, data acquisition, and quantitative interpretation to address critical challenges in Earth system science. A central component of his research is the advancement of electromagnetic methods, combined with state-of-the-art inversion frameworks. He develops physics-based and data-driven inversion strategies, including Bayesian approaches and machine learning techniques, to improve model resolution, uncertainty quantification, and computational efficiency. By coupling geophysical observations with modern inversion and learning algorithms, his work enables more robust delineation of freshwater resources across offshore–onshore transitions and enhances predictive capabilities for groundwater systems, contributing to broader applications in water security, environmental monitoring, and sustainable resource management.
