Dr. Alexandria Boehm is the Clare Boothe Luce assistant professor of environmental engineering at Stanford University. Her research interests include coastal water quality, coastal transport processes and their influence on pollution, water borne pathogens, microbial pollution, water quality indicators, particle fate in water, coagulation, sedimentation, analysis of large data sets, and applied math. She teaches undergraduate and graduate level courses on environmental engineering, coastal contamination, pathogens in the environment, and environmental health microbiology. Boehm's research is focused on understanding coastal water quality at a number of field sites along the California Coast including Stinson Beach, Santa Cruz Beach, Lovers Point, and Huntington Beach. She serves as a member of the State of California Clean Beach Task Force. She was awarded a National Science Foundation CAREER award in 2007. Boehm received a Ph.D. and M.S. in Environmental Engineering in 2000 and 1997, respectively, from University of California Irvine. She received a B.S. with honors in Engineering and Applied Science from California Institute of Technology in 1996.
