About Doreen Thomas
“Professor Emeritus Doreen Thomas is a leading academic whose work has 
spanned the fields of mathematics and electrical and mechanical 
engineering. Her career at the University of Melbourne has lasted over 
40 years and practical applications of her research have had significant 
commercial impact.

Doreen is a powerful advocate for women in engineering and mathematics. 
She chairs the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) 
Education Forum at the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and 
Engineering. While at the University of Melbourne’s School of 
Engineering, she helped create nine research fellowships to launch and 
accelerate the careers of female academics.

In 2006, she was appointed the University of Melbourne’s first female 
professor in engineering. She was the first woman at the university to 
become head of each of the departments she led, and the first woman in 
Victoria to become head of two different university departments.

Doreen’s long and distinguished career has been inspirational for other 
women in mathematics and science. She has made significant contributions 
to knowledge with real-world impact, promoted the next generation of 
women in STEM disciplines, and taught mathematics to generations of 
engineering students.” – Vic.gov.au
