Hi all,

I'm going to be starting a undergrad project, preferably in the area of finance, but don't really have an idea or "problem" that I am trying to pursue. I have background in probability, statistics, calculus, linear algebra and a little bit of stochastic calculus. All suggestions are welcome.

Thanks!!
 
Sorry, I should have specified that I would prefer to do it in an area of finance. Heat equation is a great suggestion though, thank you very much.
 
How about calculating various levels of market efficiency? This would probably be more stats though.

The Heat Equation is the under pinning of Black Scholes
 
I am too a Master in Statistics hoping to get a job in finance area . Right now I am trying to figure my possible thesis topic. I am thinking of some work in Markov-switch regime frame work applied to GARCH model. Anyone has other suggestions? Or is it possible to get a headhunter and ask about his opinion?
 
Do PCA on returns to the points on the yield curve, pre-crisis and post. Different currencies. Zero and coupon curves. Risk free vs spreads. Fixed income vs oil, NG, and power curves. How different from each other? How changed?
