Graduate Dissertation Topics
To ensure sufficient originality and promote feasibility within the desired timeline, Graduate dissertation topics must be approved by the student's Advisory Committee and at least one member of the Graduate Program Committee (see Timeline below). The Graduate dissertation topic need not exclude the general field of the student's research but should use some primary sources outside his/her specific graduate dissertation topic. In general, Graduate dissertation topics should go at least one step beyond what has been published. In addition, to the student's knowledge, work on the same hypothesis should not have been proposed before. In order to produce work distinct from the thesis topic and to facilitate an oral exam of appropriate scope, depth and rigor, students are encouraged to propose work that could conceivably be done in their lab or group (however not restricted to the instrumentation currently available). Students who wish to pursue work relatively distant from their field of interest are advised to ensure that faculty members with relevant expertise are available to consult and/or serve as an additional examiner.
One-page descriptions of Graduate dissertation topics are due November 25 for students under the new Ph.D. requirements approved in fall 2000. Proposed topics should be submitted to the Advisory Committee and at least one member of the GPC at that time. If a student has not received his/her entire committee's approval and the approval of one member of the GPC by February 15, the student will need to have an Advisory Committee meeting within the next 1-2 weeks. The purpose of this meeting is to allow faculty to resolve directly any concerns or differences of opinion about the topic. Note that typical reasons for rejecting a topic would include insufficient chemical content involved in addressing the question, lack of feasibility, or lack of sufficient distinction from the student's graduate dissertation research. If the committee's concerns are not typical ones, the committee chair must clarify their concerns to the student and to the GPC, in writing, at the end of the meeting. If the student is not able to address their Advisory Committee members' concerns successfully by February 28, the student will be put on probation. One significance of this probation is that subsequent failure to write and adequately defend the proposal by the end of the semester would be grounds for termination from the program. Note that students entering in January will have their deadlines on May 15 of their fifth semester for topic submissions and July 15 for final topic approval.
Written proposal
Like proposals submitted to a funding agency, students' original proposals will be expected to:
1. Include an abstract,
2. State the motivating scientific hypothesis,
3. Justify the importance of the scientific problem,
4. Review the relevant theoretical and/or experimental background literature,
5. Propose the specific research, including details about the theoretical and/or experimental techniques and an estimate of capital costs if nonstandard or specialized equipment is required,
6. Predict results, including discussing possible outcomes and demonstrating that the approach is feasible by calculation or reference to previous literature, and
7. Discuss the significance of the research.
