For me, that was a top ten bizarre question of the year. You've worked most of a career in PCB development but ask someone else what you want to research? I would suggest you start what with you're interested in. Otherwise, the Electrical Conductor Spacing Table 6.1 in IPC-2221 could use a serious overhaul http://frontdoor.biz/PCBportal/clearance.gif (100V needs .13mm but 101V needs .4mm? really?) Otherwise, sorry to respond without any useful advice, but that just struck me as such a strange question! It reminded me of the day my parents told me I could move back into my old room if I went back to school, ha. Anyway, (sorry for blurting) I'm curious which universities are doing PCB research these days?
