Roshan, You may want to contact Ralph Johnson from the University of Illinois. a while back Ralph had a Masters student looking into Smalltalk for .NET. I believe he was looking at tagged objects and continuations to better support Smalltalk. You would have to fall in love with Smalltalk if you decided to go to UIUC though to make best use of your time.
The MIT Dynamic Languages group is doing some really interesting work as well. Two professors there are Gregg Sullivan and Jonathan Bachrach, they both worked on Dylan and are very interested in pushing the state of the art in Virtual Machine technology. You would have to convince them about .NET though. You might also want to check out Jan Vitek at Purdue. Not sure if Jan is doing work with .NET at the moment, but you might send him email as well: http://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/jv/ There are many others, those three come to mind at the top of my head. Overall I would suggest trying to find a good prof that is really interested in pushing the state of the art in VM technology and then doing a .NET related Masters with them as opposed to finding a proff that is doing .NET now which may be a bit harder at the moment. Personally I don't know a lot of Proffs in the US, that are actively working with Rotor / CLI perhaps somebody from MSR may. I would suggest going online and looking up the conference proceedings for ETAPS, OOPSLA, Virtual Machines Symposium, and PLDI. I was at ETAPS last year and there were quite a few low level compiler / VM talks last year. Hope this helps, Yahya Yahya H.
