Examples: Real Dissertation & Thesis Topics

While the ideas we’ve presented above are a decent starting point for finding a research topic, they are fairly generic and non-specific. So, it helps to look at actual dissertations and theses to see how this all comes together.

Below, we’ve included a selection of research projects from various environmental science-related degree programs to help refine your thinking. These are actual dissertations and theses, written as part of Master’s and PhD-level programs, so they can provide some useful insight as to what a research topic looks like in practice.

  • The physiology of microorganisms in enhanced biological phosphorous removal (Saunders, 2014)
  • The influence of the coastal front on heavy rainfall events along the east coast (Henson, 2019)
  • Forage production and diversification for climate-smart tropical and temperate silvopastures (Dibala, 2019)
  • Advancing spectral induced polarization for near surface geophysical characterization (Wang, 2021)
  • Assessment of Chromophoric Dissolved Organic Matter and Thamnocephalus platyurus as Tools to Monitor Cyanobacterial Bloom Development and Toxicity (Hipsher, 2019)
  • Evaluating the Removal of Microcystin Variants with Powdered Activated Carbon (Juang, 2020)
  • The effect of hydrological restoration on nutrient concentrations, macroinvertebrate communities, and amphibian populations in Lake Erie coastal wetlands (Berg, 2019)
  • Utilizing hydrologic soil grouping to estimate corn nitrogen rate recommendations (Bean, 2019)
  • Fungal Function in House Dust and Dust from the International Space Station (Bope, 2021)

  • Laying the Genetic Foundation for the Conservation of Longhorn Fairy Shrimp (Kyle, 2021).

Looking at these titles, you can probably pick up that the research topics here are quite specific and narrowly-focused , compared to the generic ones presented earlier. To create a top-notch research topic, you will need to be precise and target a specific context with specific variables of interest . In other words, you’ll need to identify a clear, well-justified research gap.

Therefore, understanding how to effectively choose a thesis topic is foundational to your success both as a student and as a budding scholar.

What Makes a Good Thesis Topic

  • Relevance: A good thesis topic should be relevant to current issues or questions in your field. It should aim to fill a gap in knowledge or contribute to ongoing debates among scholars. Relevance ensures that your research findings will be of interest to others in your discipline and could potentially influence future research, policy, or practice.
  • Originality: Originality involves bringing new insights or proposing a novel approach to a problem. It doesn’t necessarily mean venturing into a completely unexplored territory but can involve taking a fresh perspective on existing questions. A thesis that introduces original concepts or challenges established norms tends to stand out and captivate the interest of the academic community.
  • Manageability: A feasible thesis topic is one that can realistically be researched and completed within the constraints of your resources, time frame, and academic requirements. Manageability requires careful consideration of the scope of the research and the availability of data and methods needed to conduct it effectively.

Double twist makes cracking easier to resist.

By John Sullivan

Taking inspiration from nature, researchers from Princeton Engineering have improved crack resistance in concrete components by coupling architected designs with additive manufacturing processes and industrial robots that can precisely control materials deposition.

In an article published Aug. 29 in the journal Nature Communications, researchers led by Reza Moini , an assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering at Princeton, describe how their designs increased resistance to cracking by as much as 63% compared to conventional cast concrete.

The researchers were inspired by the double-helical structures that make up the scales of an ancient fish lineage called coelacanths (pronounced see-luh-kanth.) Moini said that nature often uses clever architecture to mutually increase material properties such as strength and fracture resistance.

To generate these mechanical properties, the researchers proposed a design that arranges concrete into individual strands in three dimensions. The design uses robotic additive manufacturing to weakly connect each strand to its neighbor. The researchers used different design schemes to combine many stacks of strands into larger functional shapes, such as beams. The design schemes rely on slightly changing the orientation of each stack to create a double-helical arrangement (two orthogonal layers twisted across the height) in the beams that is key to improving the material’s resistance to crack propagation.

The paper refers to the underlying resistance in crack propagation as a ‘toughening mechanism.’ The technique, detailed in the journal article, relies on a combination of mechanisms that can either shield cracks from propagating,  interlock the fractured surfaces, or deflect cracks from a straight path once they are formed, Moini said.

Shashank Gupta, a graduate student at Princeton and co-author of the work, said that creating architected concrete material with the necessary high geometric fidelity at scale in building components such as beams and columns sometimes requires the use of robots. This is because it currently can be very challenging to create purposeful internal arrangements of materials for structural applications without the automation and precision of robotic fabrication. Additive manufacturing, in which a robot adds material strand-by-strand to create structures, allows designers to explore complex architectures that are not possible with conventional casting methods. In Moini’s lab, researchers use large, industrial robots integrated with advanced real-time processing of materials that are capable of creating full-sized structural components that are also aesthetically pleasing.

As part of the work, the researchers also developed a customized solution to address the tendency of fresh concrete to deform under its weight. When a robot deposits concrete to form a structure, the weight of the upper layers can cause the concrete below to deform, compromising the geometric precision of the resulting architected structure. To address this, the researchers aimed to better control the concrete’s rate of hardening to prevent distortion during fabrication. They used an advanced, two-component extrusion system implemented at the robot’s nozzle in the lab, said Gupta, who led the extrusion efforts of the study. The specialized robotic system has two inlets: one inlet for concrete and another for a chemical accelerator. These materials are mixed within the nozzle just before extrusion, allowing the accelerator to expedite the concrete curing process while ensuring precise control over the structure and minimizing deformation. By precisely calibrating the amount of accelerator, the researchers gained better control over the structure and minimized deformation in the lower levels.

The article, “ Tough Double-Bouligand Architected Concreteitious Material using Robotic Additive Manufacturing ,” was published Aug. 29 in Nature Communications.
