Hi,

Your help will matter a lot for my PhD dream fulfillment :)
Thanks a lot in advance for you help.

Hello! I do not know this subject well, but I hope other people will have good ideas for you. I want to tell you that you will find your ideas if you read 5 recent articles published in professional journals. Each article will probably have a "Literature Review" which summarizes ALL of the major research that has been done lately, in recent years. Therefore, you can find out what will be most helpful if you read some lit reviews. :-)

Each time you read a lit review, you will see an example of some work that someone else did recently, and you will get ideas about how you can contribute in your own unique way.

I will ask some people to visit your thread.

Well, you're asking for help regarding a PhD topic in the highly specialized area of database management. I'm quite sure a lot of people don't even know what a data warehouse is. It's a really technical area that's hard to give advice on, without being rich in the higher level understanding required to cogitate about intriguing problems.

I need relevant Ph.d Topics in Risk Management

How about this?
1) Try googling the syllabus (course description) of the top unis in this field (HYPS, MIT, Caltech.)
2) Isn't there a specialized research publication in this field (like Nature for Science?)
3) If not, just search for articles in NYT etc.
I'm sure this should give you some basis for great hot topics.

Good luck!!
