Bio:
Mubasher joins M2D2 lab as a Ph.D. student in Winter 2027. He received his M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the Pakistan Institute of Engineering and Applied Sciences (PIEAS) and his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Engineering and Technology (UET), Lahore. His past research combines computational fluid dynamics, multiphase flow modeling, turbulence modeling, heat transfer, and phase transformation phenomena to better understand complex thermal-fluid systems. His current research focuses on mesoscale chemo-mechanical degradation modeling battery materials. In his free time, he enjoys badminton and cricket.

Bio:
Tiana Mishra is a sophomore at Wayne State University studying Mathematics and Biomedical Engineering. Her interests are using numerical methods to study physical and biological systems. Her previous research has included high-performance computing and LAMMPS simulations of granular mechanics. She joined the M2D2 Lab in the fall 2026, where she works on simulating NbC-dislocation interaction in austenitic steels. She plans to pursue graduate study in a computational and interdisciplinary field.
