Serdar Selamet
Affiliate, 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.
