Maybe you have heard of PyPy, a reimplementation of Python in Python. 
We are employing quite some innovative approaches to language design
and implementation and there are certainly a lot of open research
areas. See our OSCON 2003 paper

    http://codespeak.net/pypy/index.cgi?doc/oscon2003-paper.html

or two interesting chapters out of our European Union proposal

    http://codespeak.net/pypy/index.cgi?doc/funding/B1.0
    http://codespeak.net/pypy/index.cgi?doc/funding/B6.0

You are welcome to discuss stuff on e.g. the IRC channel #pypy
on freenode or on the mailing list

    http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev 

in order to find out, if you'd like to join us and/or do some
interesting thesis. 

have fun,
