Ryan Searcy
Ph.D. Student in Civil and Environmental Engineering, admitted Autumn 2019
BioRyan Searcy is currently a PhD candidate at Stanford University. His research focuses on monitoring and modeling threats to coastal health. His current projects involve developing data-driven models to predict beach water quality, using environmental DNA (eDNA) to assess native salmonid populations in a coastal stream, and collecting physical oceanographic data to measure circulation and retention at a chronically-polluted beach. Prior to Stanford, Ryan was the beach water quality modeler for Heal the Bay. In that position, he built and managed the NowCast system which provides beachgoers and health agencies daily water quality predictions for dozens of California beaches. Ryan is a frequent user of the coast and surfs whenever the weather and work allow.
