Which tense should I write my dissertation in?
Broadly: past tense for what you did and what previous studies found, present tense for established knowledge and for what your tables show, and present or future for what your findings imply. The literature review is usually past or present perfect, and results are past.
This comes up on Common Grammar Errors, where it is answered in the context of the work itself.
