I started writing my doctoral dissertation in history using org-mode. I am also using git.el for my version control and gnus for my email. Of course I export my org file to LaTeX which I compile to pdf. My bibliography is managed using BibTeX.
please consider that you might have to follow a very stricy layout style depening on your university, department, lab or supervisor. If your are lucky there will be a LaTeX template somewhere at your university. If you are unlucky there is nothing like that or even worse only a MS-word template.
I'm not sure how good org-mode might be usable in that case. org-mode is really great and I try to use it for many purposes. However, for a thesis I would use directly LaTeX which gives me a bit more control of what is going on.
Furthermore, try biber [1] and biblatex [2]... the somehow next generation of bibtex and bib-file compatible. For me they work very well already despite of the fact that they are still beta-versions. biblatex gives you much more freedom of formatting your citations and bibliography... I guess both highly needed in your scientific field.
