Thanks for your reply. I'll look up the paper. I was away in class, so couldn't reply :p Actually, I'm in the Midwestern USA. I did talk to my professor about this today and asked him to show some his students' best MS works. That gave some idea about the depth and rigour of work required to be considered "good". I think your idea of working with a great Ph.D student is very interesting and I will run this idea by my professor.
