Meet Our Engineering Powerhouse: Zahra Rahimpour 

Every sunrise brings an opportunity to follow your dreams

When I began my journey into power electrical engineering, society’s perceptions were that women were not suited to such roles, and there was prevalent male dominance at the time. Although I was discouraged at first, my unwavering passion for the field of electrical engineering pushed me to persevere and pursue my aspirations without hesitation. My journey began with my undergraduate degree in electrical engineering, followed by a few years of professional engineering experience overseas and in Australia and, currently working as a postdoctoral research fellow in electrical engineering at the University of New South Wales. Through this journey, I’ve learned that obstacles are inevitable, but maintaining motivation and listening to your inner voice are paramount in navigating and overcoming them.
