Answer 1

Hi there,

I'm sorry but this isn't really a properly thought out question.

We need more context provided. These options don't really mean anything…

Answer 2

Hi there,

The research question for your Ph.D. should come out of a deep literature review of what is already out there. You need to identify the gaps yourself and then write your research proposal around it.

Any input from this forum is meaningless in that context, unfortunately.

All the best!

Answer 3

Hey,

I suggest you write your thesis about something that is interesting or relevant specifically to you, not others :) That way, you'll make sure you are motivated enough to produce a decent piece of work and finish it in a timely manner.

Good luck!

Answer 4

I don't understand the options provided (very generic topics), and also don't understand what is your objective. Please reformulate the question.

Answer 5

These categories are actually quite broad.

It's an interesting topic / Q&A post.

I would suggest you get back with options of several research questions and then we can provide more targeted feedback on them.

Best,
Cristian
