Career
Thomas earned her BSc from the University of Cape Town, and another from the University of Witwatersrand. At Oxford she earned an MSc and a D.Phil[3] in 1976, with a mathematical dissertation entitled Problems in Functional Analysis supervised by Hilary Priestley.[4] Her mathematical in network analysis work led to her contributions in electrical and mechanical engineering.
As professor in the many engineering schools, in mathematics and statistics[5] and as associate dean of research and research training[5] at Melbourne she has done much to encourage women to be engineers.[5][6] The engineering faculty of Melbourne University honours her work by offering postdoctoral scholarships in her name.[7][6][5] In 2006 she as appointed as the University of Melbourne's first female professor of Engineering.[1] She is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering and a Fellow of Engineers Australia.[8] She also has over 150 publications in international peer reviewed journals and conference proceedings.[3]
She commercialised her mining software optimising mine design via her start-up company MineOptima which was acquired by the mining software company RPM.[9] This software, which reduces development time and haulage costs in underground tunnel design, has been licensed to some of the world’s largest mining companies.[1]
