Dissertation topics for career in hedge funds

Hey all,

I am doing a major in mathematics and statistics. I was wondering if anyone had an opinions on relevant dissertation topics in the field of financial mathematics?

Ideally I'd like to move into hedgefunds. Potenially after starting in Asset Management.

Thanks
