Lynn Hildemann is a Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University's School of Engineering. She serves as the Senior Associate Dean for Education at the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability and was previously the Department Chair (2016-2021). Her research focuses on airborne particulate matter sources, dispersion dynamics, and human exposure assessment to air pollutants.
- PhD, MS, BS in Environmental Engineering Science from Caltech
Her work spans indoor and outdoor air quality, with notable studies on marijuana and tobacco smoke exposure, PM2.5 dispersion, and air purifier effectiveness. She has authored over 100 peer-reviewed publications, including highly cited papers on secondhand smoke and particulate matter. Her research employs experimental methods and stochastic modeling to analyze pollutant behavior in residential, restaurant, and public spaces.
Recent work includes quantifying PM2.5 from cannabis use in homes and public areas, comparing vaping vs. smoking exposure, and developing calibration techniques for low-cost air monitors. She examines proximity effects in smoke exposure and ventilation strategies to mitigate risks.
