Dr. Derya Deniz is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at Ozyegin University , Turkey. She holds a Ph.D. (2014) in Civil Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and has formal academic training in structural collapse analysis under seismic and hydrological hazards. Her career spans postdoctoral research at Colorado State University and industry collaboration with Turkey's Turkish Catastrophe Insurance Pool (DASK). Education B.S. in Civil Engineering, Middle East Technical University (2006) M.S. in Civil Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (2008) Ph.D. in Civil Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (2014) Dr. Deniz's research focuses on multi-hazard resilience for building systems and communities. She has developed methodologies for structural collapse modeling under earthquakes, flood loss analysis, and community recovery frameworks. Her work integrates disaster mitigation with sustainable building design , emphasizing business continuity and nonstructural losses . Her recent research output (2020-2025) includes publications on hospital network resilience , industrial building recovery , and hybrid flood-landslide fragility models . These works demonstrate her expertise in interdisciplinary disaster response and regional risk modeling . Scientific Achievements Former Marie Sklodowska Curie Fellow (2020-2022) Recipient of Royal Academy of Engineering funding Contributor to Turkish national disaster resilience programs Dr. Deniz actively serves on ASCE committees (Infrastructure Resilience Division, Multi-Hazard Mitigation) and participates in technical review panels for journals and NIST. She has led field investigations post-Colorado floods (2013) and Türkiye earthquakes (2023), and created practical tools for flood insurance premium calculation and disaster recovery planning.

Dr. Taylor C. Steele is an Assistant Professor and Acting Chair in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of New Brunswick. A professional engineer (P.Eng.) specializing in structural and earthquake engineering, he leads research on seismic resilience of building systems. He holds a PhD in Civil Engineering from McMaster University (2019) and a B.Sc.E. in Civil Engineering from the University of New Brunswick (2013). Research focuses on controlled rocking systems for earthquake resilience, advanced seismic simulation techniques, risk assessment for structures, mitigation of higher-mode effects in tall buildings, and experimental testing of structural components. His work contributes to developing safer building standards for seismic regions. Recent publications (2024) concentrate on implementing controlled rocking systems in Canadian building practices, analyzing ductile connections in precast structures, and refining lateral load modeling techniques. Earlier work established foundations for seismic performance evaluation of nonstructural components and collapse risk assessment. Professional service includes participation in CSA S16 Clause 27 Task Group 6 and the Currie Scholarship Selection Committee. Teaches CE 3063 (Structural Steel Design I) and CE 5063 (Structural Steel Design II).
