Dr Débora Cristina Corrêa completed her PhD in December 2012 in Applied Physics with a focus on Computational Physics at the University of Sao Paulo (USP). She has been employed as a full-time researcher from 2013 to 2021. She has been an enthusiast of computer science and data science, holding a BSc with Honours and an MSc by research in computer science. Dr Corrêa has worked in data science on time series analysis, machine learning and complex networks. Developing novel techniques, she is motivated by application-driven problems where the interplay between theory and application enriches both and results in a proper data analysis that contributes to the real world. Her research aims to develop mathematical tools to analyse large-scale temporal data consisting of many variables, mixed data types and resolution. This allowed her to explore solutions in bioengineering and biomedical signals, music, audio signals and diverse engineering systems. Dr Débora Corrêa has worked and built collaborations with many researchers across different fields, including supervision of postdoctoral, undergraduate, master and PhD students.

In 2022, Dr Corrêa commenced a T&R appointment at the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering at UWA and become a CI in the ARC Training Centre for Transforming Maintenance through Data Science (https://www.maintenance.org.au/dashboard.action).
