Biography
Alexandra Andersson Wikström’s research field is mainly related to finding and evaluating potential sources of stormwater pollutants. The focus of the scientific work is to investigate the contribution of pollutants from urban surfaces and materials, e.g. roofs and facades, to stormwater runoff. Previously, Alexandra has studied Master of Science in Natural Resources Engineering, with speciality in Environment and Water, at Luleå University of Technology. The program gives fundamental knowledge on e.g. water systems in natural and urban environments, waste sciences and various aspects of environmental issues. The master’s thesis was conducted in the urban water engineering group and consisted of laboratory screening tests of the leaching of organic and inorganic compounds from conventional roofing materials. Alexandra’s future research work will include laboratory and pilot-scaled experiments as well as field measurements of stormwater quality.
