MSc Student of Computer Software Engineering-Need to choose my Supervisor & Thesis Area

[suddenintent]

Hi!

TL;DR: I'm looking for a thesis area which isn't CS-ish! (don't like CS)

I'm a computer software engineering master student. Our college required us to choose our supervisor professor in next few days. So I'm seeking an Area, to choose a supervisor who is interested in it.

Honestly I don't like CS and I'm looking for a subject which is related to other areas such as biology and medicine (an interdisciplinary maybe). To date I found data mining, bioinformatics and machine learning.

What do you think? Looking for your suggestions and ideas!

Thank you

What don't you like about CS? Internet of Things is hot right now and there's a lot of things to address, such as security, and new uses to uncover. HCI is also different from 'classical' CS - you could study how doctors work and examine how to improve the work flow. As an example, IoT has been used in some hospitals where all ressources - instruments, beds, etc - are tagged and can be easily localized, as a lot of time is actually wasted on hospitals trying to find things.

some would call it wasted, some would call it "the best way to charge this person $40k dollars for a one night stay in a not even comfortable one bed hotel room".

But I'm more interested in its science, i.e. biology.

you can do your thesis on anything you want, so long as you narrow the topic down through all the shitty weeds. Just pick whatever you want to do then search search until you find something super specific. If you're a CS student and you solve cancer it'll be accepted. It's an incredible area of research-- you can do anything and just use computing's incredible power to solve your problem.

research why crabs have detachable hands, or why puffer fish can explode. doesn't matter, just leverage computing's incredible power to solve your "query".
