In thermodynamics dissertations, human thermodynamics dissertations and or theses refers to the completion of a graduate school degree (MS or PhD) in the field of human thermodynamics, human chemical thermodynamics, or human statistical thermodynamics.

The following are MS and PhD theses/dissertations in human thermodynamics:

In 1991, Swiss electrical engineer Francois Cellier, in his Continuous System Modeling, suggested that the thermodynamics of macroeconomies would be a “very worthwhile topic" for a PhD dissertation. [2]

In 2009, Hmolpedia member Turnkey13, a third-year undergraduate mechanical engineer, from Turkey, expressed desire to come to America to complete a master’s degree in on a topic related to thermodynamics of human life, having been inspired by passages, such as shown below, in the 2006 Thermodynamics textbook by Yunus Cengel and Michael Boyle: [3]

“The arguments presented here are exploratory in nature, and they are hoped to initiate some interesting discussion and research that may lead into better understanding of performance in various aspects of daily life. The second law may eventually be used to determine quantitatively the most effective way to improve the quality of life and performance in daily life, as it is presently used to improve the performance of engineering systems.”

In 2010, Hmolpedia member DeeM1, an American business executive, with background is business, marketing, management consulting, and leadership development, and co-owner of several companies, one of which is a post-graduate school of managerial leadership, is embarking on doctoral studies on entropy on human behaviors and energy within organizations. [4]

Econophysics PhD programs
Of note, as of circa 2004, American physicist Joseph McCauley has been heading one of the world’s first econophysics programs at the University of Houston, Texas; although, ironically, in spite of the fact that McCauley completed his own PhD under Norwegian-born American thermodynamicist Lars Onsager, curator of the reciprocal relations (one of the so-called fourth law of thermodynamics candidates), the version of economic physics taught abstains from the use of thermodynamic, because in McCauley’s view "real financial markets cannot behave thermodynamically", which of course is incorrect, because everything in the universe behaves thermodynamically.

Human chemistry
The following are dissertations in human chemistry:

Year	Person		Dissertation/Thesis	School

1977		Jeremy Adler (1947-)	PhD: Goethe’s Elective Affinity and the Chemistry of its Time (Goethe’s 'Wahlverwandtschafte' und die Chemie seiner Zeit)	University of London Advisor: Claus Bock

School of human thermodynamics
In 2005, American chemical engineer Libb Thims posted an online notice suggesting that in the near future graduate students will be able to complete their PhD in human thermodynamics. [1] In 2009, Thims began expressing desire to various heads of thermodynamics departments, at various of universities, that he was interested, in the potential near future, in founding an entire school of teaching human thermodynamics, subject material to be required coursework for the engineering, sciences, and humanities departments, similar in style and stature to what American physical chemist Gilbert Lewis did in founding the now-famous Lewis school of thermodynamics at the University of California, Berkeley. Out of these discussions, one thermodynamics professor, thus far, has taken Thims out to lunch to suggest that Thims join their thermodynamics department.
