Dynamic Engineering PhD Student Portfolio
About Reeba Thomas – Researcher | Educator | Materials Explorer
I’m Reeba Thomas, a PhD student in Mechanical Engineering, diving deep into the dynamic behavior of materials. My research centers on multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs), exploring their response to high strain rates and their evolving microstructures under extreme conditions. While I’m still at the early stages of phase diagram work and first-principles studies, I’m equally passionate about sharing this journey openly.
Through this platform, I aim to bring technical depth and practical relevance together, for fellow researchers, curious students, and industry professionals. From simplified explanations to research tools, experimental reflections, and educational games, I’m here to make material science more engaging and approachable.
