Claire Anderson
Postdoctoral Scholar, Civil and Environmental Engineering
BioAs a postdoctoral scholar interested in the intersections of human health, animal health, and the environment, I work across disciplines in Environmental Engineering (with Alexandria Boehm) and Epidemiology (with Jade Benjamin-Chung). My current work focuses on understanding the mechanisms of pathogen survival (including parasites and viruses) in the environment and microbial source tracking. My dissertation work centered on enveloped viruses, with a particular focus on understanding their persistence in the environment, transmission dynamics, and intervention strategies, especially in resource-constrained environments. Beyond my academic pursuits, I'm dedicated to increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion through outreach programs for students in every level of their education.

Jose Bolorinos
Postdoctoral Scholar, Civil and Environmental Engineering
BioJose Bolorinos is a Postdoctoral scholar in Civil and Environmental Engineering. Jose received his PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering (Atmosphere & Energy) and an M.S. in Statistics at Stanford. Jose's research focuses on data-driven, systems-level strategies for coordinating urban water and energy supply infrastructure. As part of this work, he has investigated policy approaches that better understand and manage the lifecycle impacts of the energy sector on watersheds, air quality, and carbon emissions. Jose has also developed closed-loop customer monitoring and segmentation tools that allow water and electricity utilities to quickly track the responses of their customers to demand shocks inside and outside of their service areas. Currently, he is developing data-driven methods for optimal design and operation of energy storage in the wastewater treatment sector. His work has been featured at the California Data Collaborative, Stanford's Big Earth Water Hackathon, and AI for Climate Change Initiative.
Prior to coming to Stanford, Jose worked as a data scientist for a healthcare consultancy subcontracted by the federal government to manage its Medicare and Medicaid claims databases. Jose received a B.A. in Economics from UC Berkeley and an M.S. in Environmental Engineering and Science from Stanford University. He was part of the start up operations team at the Bill & Cloy Resource Recovery Center, an experimental, pilot-scale wastewater treatment facility launched recently on the Stanford campus to accelerate innovative approaches to wastewater treatment. -
Sneha Jain
Postdoctoral Scholar, Civil and Environmental Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe overarching goal of my research is to understand the impact of the built environment on human well-being and integrate the complexity and dynamism of human-environment interaction into effective design strategies that promote i) health and well-being, ii) equitability, and iii) sustainability.
Currently, I am working on evaluating the impact of sustainble retrofit solutions on the wellbeing of low-income renters living in affordable housing. I have strong interest to work on quantifying the impact of exposure to daylight on human comfort, sleep patterns, alterness and stress relief.
