While there is an official guideline for formatting and writing your thesis at USC, there is no “official” style provided for LaTeX users.
There are a couple LaTeX styles that are floating around informally across labs and departments–I’ve taken the one used by students at NSL and updated it in line with the current formatting guideline (as of 2020-06-25).
It might also be useful to look at how to use matplotlib to generate figures, graphs, and plots for your thesis.
