Serdar Selamet
Adjunct Lecturer, Civil and Environmental Engineering
BioProf. Serdar Selamet is an Adjunct Lecturer in Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University and a Manager in Thermal Sciences at Exponent. Before joining Stanford, he served as an Associate Professor of Civil Engineering at Bogazici University in Istanbul, Turkey. His work focuses on structural fire engineering, wildfire engineering, steel structures, performance-based design, computational modeling, and multi-hazard resilience.
Dr. Selamet specializes in evaluating the behavior of buildings and infrastructure under fire conditions. His expertise includes heat-transfer and thermomechanical analysis, structural stability and critical-temperature assessment, passive fire protection, façade and cladding fires, compartment-fire dynamics, and the fire performance of steel and composite structures. He has led performance-based fire-engineering projects involving high-rise buildings, airports, industrial facilities, and structures containing hazardous materials.
As a licensed Professional Engineer (P.E.) and Certified Fire and Explosion Investigator (CFEI), Dr. Selamet conducts origin-and-cause investigations involving residential and commercial fires, explosions, and hazardous materials. His consulting experience also includes failure analysis of sprinklers, fire-rated assemblies, firestopping systems, and building façades. In wildfire engineering, he develops predictive models for vegetation ignition and assesses risks to infrastructure in the wildland–urban interface.
His computational expertise includes finite-element and thermomechanical modeling using Abaqus, OpenSees Fire, and SAFIR, as well as fire and smoke modeling using computational fluid dynamics and zone models such as OZone and CFAST. Dr. Selamet is an Editorial Board Member of Fire Safety Journal, co-leads the SFPE WUI Fire Research Work Group, and serves on several professional fire-protection and structural-engineering committees. -
Heather Selby, PhD
Basic Life Research Scientist, Stanford-Surgery Policy Improvement Research and Education Center
BioI am interested in developing medical imaging-based AI models to identify patients with locally advanced rectal cancer who achieve a clinical complete response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, with the goal of sparing them from surgery and its associated risks.

Elizabeth Selig, Ph.D.
Managing Director, Center for Ocean Solutions, Center for Ocean Solutions
BioElizabeth Selig works at the intersection of environmental and social sustainability in marine ecosystems. Her current research focuses on understanding social-ecological feedbacks in ocean health, marine resource conflicts, and patterns in illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing and labor abuses in fisheries. Selig received her Ph.D. in ecology at the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill. Her dissertation focused on how global climate change may affect coral reef health and management strategies that can help mitigate coral loss. She has more than ten years of experience working with international non-governmental organizations including Conservation International, where she was the Senior Director of Marine Science. She has also worked at the Smithsonian Institution and the World Resources Institute.
Selig is part of the core team behind the Blue Food Assessment, an international scientific assessment of the contribution of aquatic foods to human nutrition and environmental impacts, with a focus on equity and environmental vulnerability of production. For the last several years, she has also been a part of the Seafood Business for Ocean Stewardship (SeaBOS) science team. She was a lead author on the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) Global Assessment and is part of the International Science Advisory Council for the Stockholm Resilience Centre.
