Teaching at the world-renowned science and engineering institute in Pasadena in the department of physics for more than four decades, he is a distinguished physicist and educator whose principal works have been focused on the nuclear structure and nature of subatomic particles. Some of his most groundbreaking work throughout his tenure has also included the symmetry properties of nuclear interactions. Dr. Boehm formerly spent five years at Caltech as a research fellow from 1953 until 1958 before being acquired as a faculty member. He was also a Boese fellow at Columbia University in New York between 1952 and 1953.

Dr. Boehm later attended several Aspen Center for Physics conventions in Aspen, Colorado, throughout his career with his wife. Invited to the nonprofit's annual convention numerous times, the organization hosts various workshops and conferences where research physicists can network and collaborate.
Born in Switzerland, Dr. Boehm became interested in physics at the age of 16. Researching and writing extensively on the brain and how it functions, one of his first papers was published while still in high school. After graduation, with the recommendation of several of his teachers, he pursued additional schooling in the field. Dr. Boehm went on to receive both a Master of Science and a Doctor of Philosophy at ETH Zurich in 1948 and 1951, respectively.
Dr. Boehm is a fellow and 1995 Tom W. Bonner Prize recipient of the American Physical Society, as well as the Humboldt Award in 1980 and 1984.
