Zahra completed her PhD in applied mathematics at the University of Western Australia. Her research focuses on analysing nonlinear time series through the lens of dynamical systems, leading to the development of innovative ordinal methods for detecting network synchronisation.
After completing her PhD at the University of Western Australia, she joined Curtin University as a postdoctoral research fellow. As a postdoctoral research fellow within CCDM, Zahra applies her expertise in time series analysis to the Australian grains sector. Her work involves modelling farm experiments and grower case studies, which transform complex agricultural data into strategic industry solutions.
