Levy was among three MIT faculty to be awarded the prestigious fellowship out of a field of more than 3,000 applicants. The fellowship comes with a stipend to support Levy's research, which combines computational modeling of large datasets with psycholinguistic experimentation to further our understanding of the cognitive underpinning of language processing.

Mark Harnett, an associate professor at MIT, still remembers the first time he saw electrical activity spiking from a living neuron. He was a senior at Reed College and had spent weeks building a patch clamp rig — an experimental setup with an electrode that can be used to gently probe a neuron and measure its electrical activity. “The first time I stuck one of these electrodes onto one of these cells and could see the electrical activity happening in real time on the oscilloscope, I thought, ‘Oh my God, this is what I’m going to do for the rest of my life. This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen,’” Harnett says.
