At MLGM Lab, Zahra’s work covered graph-based representation learning and molecular prediction, alongside knowledge-graph embedding and link-prediction experiments. The FunQG paper connects a mathematical quotient-graph idea to a concrete molecular learning workflow.
Earlier work at IPM focused on computational algebraic graph theory, graph invariants, and combinatorics. Postdoctoral research at Shahid Beheshti University applied GNNs and deep learning to healthcare-oriented predictive modeling and explainable AI.
