I think MATDENSE for GPUs is a good idea. In that vein, I would like to work on operator representation (same thing as Deep O-Net, FNO) except from a slightly different point of view. In a completely different direction, I would like to work on running simple simulations (heat flow, elastic stress) over CAD geometries from industry. Getting this workflow right is the first step toward design optimization.
