Master's Thesis: Open areas of research in Haskell

Hello all! Beginning in September, I'll begin my Master's program in Computer Science, and I'm completely set on doing my thesis in some form of functional programming and/or Haskell. I've seen the Internship opportunities and areas of research for GHC (https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Internships) but they all seem to apply to Ph.D candidates. That said, are there open areas of research that I could look into, or more resources in Haskell that would be useful for a two-year program's research? I'm hoping to have a set thesis by the time I begin my Master's program, which is why I'm giving myself six months in advance. Any help would be highly appreciated! Regards

I wouldn't worry about these restrictions, they aren't set in stone. It's better to look at the slate of people (and what they've done, not their paper qualifications) who have actually gotten in previously to get a sense of the benchmark. If you've hacked GHC in interesting ways before applying, you'll definitely turn heads.
That said, are there open areas of research that I could look into
Skim the titles of previous years ICFP and Haskell Symposium proceedings. Read the abstracts. Look at the references. Does anything strike the eye? -- Kim-Ee

Perfect!
Thank you very much for the pointers!
