Ludwig Schmidt
Assistant Professor of Computer Science
BioLudwig Schmidt is an assistant professor at Stanford University in the Computer Science Department and Stanford Data Science. Ludwig’s research interests revolve around the empirical foundations of machine learning, often with a focus on datasets, reliable generalization, multimodality, and language models. Recently, Ludwig’s research group contributed to open source machine learning by creating OpenCLIP, DCLM, and the LAION-5B dataset. Ludwig completed his PhD at MIT and was a postdoc at UC Berkeley. Ludwig’s research received a new horizons award at EAAMO, best paper awards at ICML & NeurIPS, a best paper finalist at CVPR, and the Sprowls dissertation award from MIT.

Dustin Schroeder
Associate Professor of Geophysics, of Electrical Engineering and Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment
BioMy research focuses on advancing the scientific and technical foundations of geophysical ice penetrating radar and its use in observing and understanding the interaction of ice and water in the solar system. I am primarily interested in the subglacial and englacial conditions of rapidly changing ice sheets and their contribution to global sea level rise. However, a growing secondary focus of my work is the exploration of icy moons. I am also interested in the development and application of science-optimized geophysical radar systems. I consider myself a radio glaciologist and strive to approach problems from both an earth system science and a radar system engineering perspective. I am actively engaged with the flow of information through each step of the observational science process; from instrument and experiment design, through data processing and analysis, to modeling and inference. This allows me to draw from a multidisciplinary set of tools to test system-scale and process-level hypotheses. For me, this deliberate integration of science and engineering is the most powerful and satisfying way to approach questions in Earth and planetary science.

Luise Avelina Seeker
Senior Basic Life Research Scientist
BioLuise Seeker is a trained vet from Berlin, Germany with a strong interest in researching ageing at a cellular level. She obtained a PhD in Genomics from the University of Edinburgh in 2018 for studying telomeres, their heritability and their power to predict lifespan (supervised by Profs. Georgios Banos, Dan Nussey, Mike Coffey and Bruce Whitelaw). She joined Prof. Anna Williams' lab at the University of Edinburgh as a postdoc and investigated transcriptional changes with ageing in the human central nervous system.

Serdar Selamet
Adjunct Lecturer, Civil and Environmental Engineering
BioAssoc. Professor with focus on Fire Engineering, Steel Structures and Numerical Modeling. Dr. Selamet specializes in fire protection engineering with focus on buildings and structures. His areas of expertise include heat transfer analysis, stability and critical temperature assessment of structural members, passive fire protection, building envelope (i.e. façade) fires, performance-based structural analysis under fire conditions and house fires in wildland urban interface. He specializes in providing origin and cause determinations for fires and explosions. Dr. Selamet has expertise in thermo-mechanical modeling and response using finite element software Abaqus and OpenSees Fire. In addition, he has gained experience using computer zone models such as OZone and Consolidated Model of Fire and Smoke Transport (CFAST) to simulate compartment fire dynamics.
