Senior Fire Engineer
Parisa Nassiri
PE
With a focus on Structural Fire Engineering, Parisa analyzes the holistic performance of spaces in fire scenarios. Beyond saving her clients time, material, and labor costs, Parisa champions more sustainable and integrated building design. Through research-backed code consulting and educational outreach, she eases approvals for new construction types at impressive scales. From affordable housing complexes to corporate campuses, Parisa increasingly takes mass timber to new heights.
Through it all, Parisa stays grounded in nature. She and her husband are visiting every national park: the floor is open for recommendations! So far Glacier National Park tops the list—even after a close bear encounter. Parisa channels her love of the outdoors as a homeowner through gardening and plant care. Born and raised in Tehran, she’s lived in College Park and Los Angeles before putting down roots in the Bay Area.
