Hi everyone,

I’m currently looking for ideas for small research topics (Master’s level) related to pipeline inspection, and I’d really appreciate your input.

A few important constraints:

I don’t have access to a laboratory, so the topic should be purely analytical, numerical, and/or theoretical.

I do have access to some basic data, including ILI (In-Line Inspection) reports.

I also have access to industry standards and technical documentation.

I’m particularly interested in topics that involve data analysis, modeling, simulation, reliability assessment, defect evaluation, or integrity management.

If you have any suggestions for specific research questions, problem statements, or even general directions to explore, I’d love to hear them!

Thanks in advance for your help
