[tor-talk] Tor Volunteer Research Help

[Venkatarama Subrahmanyan Watrap Raman]

Hi,

I am a master's student in comp science at UIC (Univ. of Illinois at 
Chicago) planning to do a thesis on comp networks with/without anonymity 
online. I came across the volunteer research topics page 
(https://www.torproject.org/getinvolved/volunteer.html.en#Research). The 
topics that interest me are a,b, f, g, i, j and l.

I have about an year of school left within which I need to complete 
this. I need some direction here as to where to start? Is it a good idea 
to go ahead with those ideas for a thesis, given the time I have? Are 
there others working on the same? And if I do plan to do it, what are 
the tools required and papers to read?

Thanks,
Venkat
