Main focus of my research currently is extension of coloring and homomorphism results from graphs to signed graphs. This is of special importance because it provides a better connection with minor theory. It is also a main theme of an ANR project named HOSIGRA (HOmomorphisms of SIgned GRAPhs). There are plenty of questions with different level of difficulties, suitable for M1, M2 and Ph.D. projects. For some details you can see the website of the project by clicking on ANR-HOSIGRA 2018-2022 on the right column. Or you can simply write me an e-mail for an appointment and discussion.
