While we're waiting to cook up some specific advice on proposing your PhD thesis, check out these example proposals from previous years:
- Daniel Acevedo's visualization PhD proposal from 2006 (presentation PPT)
- Dana Tenneson's graphics PhD proposal from 2007 (presentation PPT)
- Andy Wald's biomedical engineering PhD proposal from 2007
The older examples above are "proposals" in the sense used by the CS department; they come rather late in the PhD process and are balanced more toward reporting extensive thesis work so far than toward actually proposing work to be done. It may be useful to model PhD proposals that truly propose work after grant proposals. Check the following links for proposal guidelines:
