Dr. Selçuk Güçeri is an internationally recognized, distinguished Professor of Mechanical Engineering at WPI, where he also served as the inaugural Bernard M. Gordon Dean of Engineering from 2011-2013. Dr. Güçeri earned his undergraduate degree from ODTÜ/METU in Türkiye and his Ph.D. from North Carolina State University. He began his academic career at the University of Delaware, establishing major research programs in composite materials and energy. Most notably, he was one of the Principal Investigators for the NSF Inaugural Engineering Centers, which has now become an internationally acclaimed leader in the field of composites and materials processing. In 1993, he moved to the University of Illinois at Chicago to serve as the Department Head of Mechanical Engineering, further expanding his expertise in manufacturing processes and renewable energy. In 2000, Dr. Güçeri became the Dean of Engineering at Drexel University, where he transformed the college into an internationally recognized, Research-1 program through its state-of-the-art laboratories and close industrial collaboration, earning him several prestigious awards.
In 2011, Dr. Güçeri joined WPI as the inaugural Bernard Gordon Dean of Engineering. During his short tenure as dean, he was instrumental in WPI receiving the NAE Gordon Prize, and initiated several major leadership opportunities for the institution by hiring excellent faculty. In 2013, Dr. Güçeri transitioned to focus on teaching, where he continues to inspire and mentor the next generation of engineers. His research and teaching career spans over five decades, focusing on advanced manufacturing technologies, composite materials, and energy systems. Dr. Güçeri has been honored with numerous teaching excellence awards and professıonal achievements, a testament to his dedication to education, students, and the communıty.
