Can anyone please suggest me a project topic?

In summary, the conversation is about finding a project topic in the field of astronomy and cosmology at a graduate level. The advisor suggests reading a lot and finding a topic, but the individual is confused about where to start. They are mainly interested in dark energy and detecting advanced civilizations in the stellar neighborhood. The advisor only mentions the area and it is up to the individual to find reading material and a topic, which the advisor will then approve or disapprove. The individual is advised to check the website arxiv.org for the newest papers in the field.

Review and consider the existing means that we can use to detect the presence of advanced civilizations in the general (within 100 ly) stellar neighborhood.

This could be by electromagnetic or chemical means.

First figure out what to look for and then figure out how to look for it.

Did he give you any reading material? If not, why not ask him for a few suggestions?

try http://arxiv.org/list/astro-ph/new every day the newest papers are on there. Is this just for a course? How much 'work' are you supposed to do? It's pretty hard to find something really small that 'needs to be done' (for the main reason that somebody would have don it by now).
