Undergraduate level research topic in physics

AI Thread Summary
A final-year BSc Physics student in India is seeking guidance on theoretical project topics to undertake before starting a postgraduate course. With a background in Quantum Mechanics and ongoing studies in Complex Analysis, the student is particularly interested in areas such as Matrix Mechanics, Hamiltonian dynamics, and aspects of Mathematical Physics like Matrix Theory and Harmonic Analysis. The aim is to approach local university professors with a well-defined project proposal. The student is looking for suggestions on undergraduate-level research topics that align with their knowledge and interests in these fields.

I am a Final year (3rd year) student studying BSc Physics in India. My undergraduate course is getting completed in one month. As I want to pursue my career in field of physics, I like to do a project especially a theoretical project (kind of writing a junior level thesis) before joining Postgraduate course. I will be having atleast two month free time. I am planning to approach professors in universities on my location, for that i have to be sure what i am proposed to do (project i am willing to do). Honestly to say I have no idea what to do. But I already done a reading project in Quantum mechanics for a month and presently i am learning Complex analysis(mathematical physics).
I have interest in these topics (1) Quantum mechanics (Matrix mechanics, Hamiltonian)
(2) Mathematical physics (Matrix theory (upto eigenvalues, eigenvectors, some linear algebra), harmonic analysis (upto Fourier transforms, Fourier series, etc)
Please Suggest me some Undergraduate level Research project topics that I can do and I acquired some knowledge through my undergraduate course on these topics i mentioned above.
Thank you in Advance​

I am only in year 1 of my undergraduate degree, but as long as you know some maths you can contribute to really any project by doing the grunt work.
 
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
