Hi Daniel
 
As part of my master's thesis, I developed some code to evaluate FX Options in the Heston / SVJD - model. You can find the thesis (including a summary in English and source code) on the following page:
http://www.nielses.dk/stud/cand/
 
I hope it can be an inspiration for you.
 
I made my code as an extension to QuantLib, which in some regards made my work easier, and in some others more complicated. I still need to polish the code, so that it can become part of the official release QuantLib code, though.
 
Also the following link might interest you:

Good luck with your dissertation.
 
Niels

Subject: [Quantlib-users] Masters Dissertations

Hi Guys,
 
I am currently looking for dissertation topics in Mathematical Finance so if anyone out there has any ideas - please let me know.
I would like to develop accompanying code as part of quantlib for whatever work I do.
One strategy that has been recommended to  me is to find a recent paper and build on it in some way - so did anyone read any great articles recently?
Or maybe there are areas on the Quantlib todo list I  could make a dissertation out of?
The areas I am particularly interested in are numerical methods in FX or Credit Derivatives markets.
 
Thanks,
 
Daniel
