Rawan contributed to the IDEAS Lab during the summer of 2023 through the SURE (Summer Undergraduate Research in Engineering) program. She worked with data collection and processing in addition to creating pages on the IDEAS lab website to shed light on aspects of sustainable aviation that are not readily accessible.

Rawan has always been interested in sustainability, but her interests became vested when she joined the M-SAAVE HUM (Michigan Sustainable Aerospace Vehicle Engineering - Humanitarian UAV Mission) project team at the University of Michigan. The team is working on producing a UAV capable of medical supply drop and aerial surveillance for use in sub-Saharan Africa. She was the M-SAAVE HUM Risk Manager and Models Based Systems Engineering Team Captain for the 2022-23 year. Rawan is also a part of SGT, the aerospace honor society, and is interested in spacecraft navigation, spacecraft dynamics, and propulsion systems.

Outside of aerospace Rawan enjoys fashion, cooking, and watching anime.
