Thesis Definition and 238 Threads

Hi guys, I am entering in my final year of mechanical engineering and as one of my last major assessment items, i am required to complete a thesis. I was wondering if i could get some ideas on a possible topic. I am currently employed as an undergrad mechanical engineer at a engineering firm...

Hey! I am about to start my Bachelor's thesis about General Relativity. My professor mentioned that my thesis might as well be related to Gravitational Waves. Do you think that it would be appropriate to work on Gravitational Waves for a Bachelor's thesis? Isn't it too advanced? Also, any idea...

I am doing my exchange studies in Sweden and have applied to two internship offers at Volvo. However, I've heard that the competition is tough (especially for non-native speakers). Application results are only for the next month. Should I apply to other internships/thesis placements across...

Hi, I am writing up my PhD thesis in the UK (Uni of Birmingham) and getting absolutely no guidance from my supervisor or the grad school about plagiarism. I'm being passed from pillar to post as no one wants to give an opinion so I thought I would ask here. How much of my papers that I have...

Hello, I didn't know if this is the right place for this question but here it is. I have a thesis due by June sometime. The thesis is in an astronomy course so I would like to do something on physics. I have just started learning the basics and would like to impress the teacher (this might help...

I apologize for asking this actually fuzzy question, but I really hope I can get some useful advice. This year I'm finishing a Master's degree in the field of mathematics. I want to make some research and write a graduate thesis that (perhaps) could be interesting to my potential employer in...

Initially he was happy and did refer me to a couple of profs. But towards the end, he reasoned that I lacked the understanding of the subject and so not competent enough for a PhD. I agree to his concerns, since I was studying this concept for the first time (for my thesis) and took extra time...

Dear All, I have been offered to chose a direction for the MSc thesis in Theoretical High Energy Physics; 1: SUSY 2: SM 3: BSM 4: QFT in curved space etc 5: Quantum Gravity etc can anyone advice me which would be a better choice in getting a Phd position later? I don't want to chose something...

My thesis supervisor usually just hands out a paper to read and to fish for the resources and all the rest of the details for myself. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Hello to all, I am a Physics Undergrad and I recently started writing my Thesis. Of course as soon as I stared typing I noticed that the layout of the text like the font I use or the size of the characters are to be noticed since it's an official document; so I looked it up and found some...

Just as the question asks, is this typical? I'm leaning towards no, but I don't know what's typical. From your experience, what do you think? Thanks!

How to select a thesis topic in Graduation for physics ? And which forums are the best to study "research papers" in physics? please help

I am almost finishing my graduation course, just more 6 months, I tried to work with biological physics for one and a half year, but I did not like, anyway, I need to write my thesis to present at the end of my course, my professor told me to think in something current in theoretical physics, he...

Anyone have a link to Hawking's master thesis on the big bang?

What is Stephen Hawking's PhD thesis? Why did he disprove it? And what did he replace it with?

Hello everyone, I hope this is a proper place to post this message. I would like to ask you to take a look at this Thesis summary. It is important that it be a person familiar with the jargon. I am not a native speaker of English and want to make sure that I do not say rubbish in the summary...

Hello everyone, I am a Physics education major in the Philippines.I am now on the stage of doing an undergraduate thesis as a requirement for my degree. I would like to ask for suggestion out there, for an interesting topic to be considered. I would really appreciate topics that gives a little...

I know little about how the two compare. I'm just after any information on them really. In particular things like: - Which is the usual route taken? I believe it is taught? On university websites it gives the number of spaces for the taught Msc but not the by thesis ones, what are the typical...

Guys, I'm 5th yr student of Electrical engineering do you have any idea of how to propose a thesis proposal, if you have file much better. thank you

I've known for some time now that research is my passion. However, choosing a particular field to obtain a PhD in is a daunting task. This thread will go over in some detail my strategy for entering a PhD program on my terms, which as expected will be critiqued by this forum. 1. Background...

Hi, I am a fourth year undergraduate student currently undertaking my thesis coursework. My basic physics knowledge level includes Classical Mechanics (Marion and Thornton), Electrodynamics (Griffiths), Quantum Mechanics (Griffiths), and Statistical Mechanics (Blundell). Now, part of my thesis...

I have my thesis for Masters in Physics next academic year. I was thinking that for my thesis maybe i could solve a bunch of some new problems in quantum mechanics. I would be highly grateful if you people could suggest some problems to me. Thanks

Hello everyone, I'm a physics student and have got a matter that has been bothering me, therefore I would like to hear your opinion and perhaps your experiences. So now I have been doing my master thesis and I plan to find a PhD position after graduation. The problem is I want to take a topic...

Hi! I'm Roms and I am an electrical engineering student from the Philippines. i am currently doing my thesis and I hope this community can help me. :)

Can anyone suggest any interesting problems relating a neuron model with nonlinear phenomena (or nonlinearity of the neurons itself)? And also which spiking neuron model is computationally simple yet able to produce firing patterns close to a real biological neuron?

Hello all! I plan on doing a senior thesis in order to graduate with Honor's in Physics (Specialization Astrophysics). Although I'm only in my second year, I wish to begin research to be better prepared for when I actually pair with an adviser for directed study and thesis writing. I plan on...

Hello I will defend in a couple of weeks and I have been asked to do experiments that are not directly adding to my thesis (I can force it and add If I wanted but not really critical). Normally PhD candidates in the final stage are given a time to work on their PhD thesis and in my situation...

Hi all, I am currently an undergraduate in my third year working towards a simultaneous B.S/ M.S and will graduate next spring. I will be applying to Ph.D programs next winter and I am torn between earning my Master's through completing eight classes or through five classes and a Master's...

What is expected from a bachelor's thesis (for engineering)? My adviser won't tell me and the guidelines/marking scheme don't say anything. Also are advisers only meant to give "high level" advice (e.g. what areas to study) rather than technical stuff? Or is it the other way around? I don't...

Do I need to do it? Should I put his name somewhere? Thanks
