Master's thesis topic and mentor

Hello, *short summary*: I am looking for someone who might have a topic for Master's thesis and will be interested in mentoring me along the way (giving pointers, helping here and there but not doing everything for me) *more detailed*: I have been introduced to Haskell about a year ago. It's been a slow ride, but I am gaining knowledge step by step. I am having some difficulty in finding a topic for my Master's degree and thought it would benefit me to try doing something Haskell related (be it a library, some part of a project or something similar). Unfortunately I do not believe I am able to pick something up by myself. Therefore I am looking for someone out there who might just have something to do they would be interested in delegating to somebody else and helping a bit throughout that work (and it cannot be something too easy, as there are some expectations from the work done for Master's degree) . It might be a long shot but I believe it is worth trying. Thank you for your time. Best regards, Konstantin Saveljev

I was in a similar position as you when I did my Master Thesis. I made a game in Haskell & C++, and compared them. The Thesis is available on GitHub[0].
The main point of my thesis was investigating the use of Haskell (or, more generally, purely functional programming) for games (or, more generally, programs traditionally associated with lots of state). If you want to base your work on mine, I would be happy to help you. It would be very cool to see more work on Haskell game programming.

Hello Konstantin! I don't know what exactly you're looking for, but since you seem quite open-minded about that... I may have something that could be of interest to you. I don't know if you've heard about Accelerate [1], but my project would use it. So if you're interested in working on haskell libraries that generate smoking fast code to be run on GPUs (extending the accelerate ecosystem, so to speak), shoot me an email (at the very same address this email is coming from) :-) [1] http://hackage.haskell.org/package/accelerate On Fri, Aug 29, 2014 at 3:45 PM, Konstantin Saveljev < konstantin.saveljev@gmail.com> wrote:
