High School Advanced Research Project Ideas in Investment Banking

Hey everyone. I am currently a high school sophomore going into my junior year and I am in the someone prestigious advanced research program in my school (only take 40 people out of 600 students in the grade). This year, my project was on using the options market to create price points of where a stock should be bought and sold and it has worked out pretty well. Next year, I would like to do some sort of research having to do with investment banking due to the fact that my father is a successful investment banker and I would like to do the same in my future but I do not know what to do my research on. It needs to be mathematical in nature, as was my project from this year. Anyone have any good ideas?
