About

Hi! I’m Arwa Abougharib.

I’m a mechanical engineer with a knack for tech, modelling, and systems design. My career began with legal administration and management through my family’s business while pursuing my engineering studies, eventually putting the two skill sets together through a master’s in engineering management. That is, until a lecture on the history of fire safety engineering—a field born out of human tragedy— changed my perspective on what I wanted to do next.

Currently, I’m a PhD candidate at the University of British Columbia, where my research focuses on modelling the thermal performance of mass timber structures in compartment fires.
