Sarah Billington and Alexandria Boehm named Clare Boothe Luce Assistant Professors

ental impact - including using recycled materials and energy-efficient construction practices.

Alexandria Boehm
Boehm is the Clare Boothe Luce Assistant Professor of Environmental Engineering. She arrived at Stanford from the University of California-Irvine, where she had been a faculty fellow for two years and received an award for outstanding undergraduate teacing.

Boehm's research brings her to the beach, where she studies coastal water quality and the processes that affect it. "What happens to viruses and bacteria when they are released into the environment?" she asked. "For how long can they harm humans?"

At Stanford, Boehm is continuing research she started at UC-Irvine to understand how people come into contact with pollution at the beach. She is particularly interested in analyzing how urban runoff and sewage move through the ocean, and how viral and bacterial contamination change throughout the day and month. She also researches the economics and politics of coastal water quality, and recently coauthored a study on controversial beach closings in Southern California.
