Well, what would you like to study? Generally, the thesis will be 
of a topic that is (a) great interest to you and (b) has room for 
improvement in the field.

The theses you listed cover OS development, memory safe kernel 
programming, and safety generally, respectively. Is this the area 
you wish to work in?  What about other areas, such as 
concurrency, message passing, high performance, Type Theory, etc.?

You mentioned Design by Introspection hard to find material 
about. What if you broaden this a bit and consider the topic of 
metaprogramming more generally?

Best of luck to you
