As an Associate at Rogers DeSimone, Noran Abdel-Wahab provides technical leadership and oversight on projects of various scales, including day-to-day leadership and mentorship of our team of engineers. Since joining our team in 2024, Noran has been primarily focused on Aviation and Education projects. Prior to that, her experience included mixed-use buildings and historic renovations/conversions.
She has managed the design and engineering of new construction, building expansions, structural retrofitting, and the enhancement of structural resiliency. Her project experience spans reinforced and prestressed concrete, steel, and fiber-reinforced polymers. Her current major aviation projects include the United Airlines Terminal B Processor at George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) in Houston and the Terminal C Redevelopment at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW).
Previously, Noran led the structural design for the El Paso Water Administration Building—a mid-rise administrative building with cross-laminated timber (CLT) and steel framing. She also managed the design and review of terraced, low-rise buildings for a resort property in Austin, a project involving mixed development buildings. Additionally, Noran played a pivotal role in the conversion of the Alamo Visitor Center in San Antonio, into the Alamo Education Center, providing structural guidance for its transformation into a state-of-the-art educational and research facility.
Noran holds a PhD in Structural Engineering from the University of Waterloo, Canada, and both an MSc and BSc in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Cairo University, Egypt. In addition to her project leadership, she is an active contributor to the engineering community, having written numerous papers and delivered presentations on key topics within the industry.
