What could a scientist in my Star Wars fan fic be working on?

I’m trying to write a story about a scientist who is working on something in the era of the New Republic. He does not believe in the Force. I just need something for him to be researching. It really isn’t that important to the story; it just has to sound cool and scientific. Also it can’t have already been done in Legends or Canon. I want a fresh idea.

It cannot be

  • A time machine
  • A teleporter
  • A matter replicator
  • A singularity Weapon
  • Any type of droid
  • Anything to do with holograms
  • A food synthesizer
  • Anything to do with the Force or Midi-chlorians
  • A shrink ray
  • A freeze ray
  • pico and femtotechnology
  • A Dyson sphere or any type of megastructure.
  • Liquid metal armor or a nano morph
  • Any improvements on the hyperdrive
  • Limb regeneration
  • Hyperspace nullifier
  • Holodeck
  • Knowledge Transfer (Instant learning like in the Matrix)
  • Philosophers Stone
  • Kinetic weapons
  • Solar sail
  • Anything to do with kyber crystals
  • Gene editing
  • Improvements on deflector shields
  • Mech suit
  • Exosuit
  • Gender change
  • Anything to do with anti-aging
  • In canon, during the Empire, scientists were researching methods to control droids, lasers that can punch through deflector shields and ship scale disintigrators. These ideas are therefore taken.
Any ideas?
 
improvement on star destroyer shield emitter so they are not stuck on top of the bridge and get taken out and then a fighter can take out the bridge by kamikaze
 
Which one of the 3 star wars movies is the "new republic" era?

"Star Wars" ?
"The Empire Strikes Back" ?
"Return of the Jedi" ?

Or, is this after or before one of them?

A viewscreen that provides depth perception (he is insistent that it's not a hologram, as that's an unrelated technology) so a starship's bridge doesn't need windows, and it can be placed deep inside the ship where it's safer.

It could turn into this (call it "optical stealth technology") later.
 
Synthetic Blue Milk
Safety Railings
A proper UI for moisture vaporators that doesn't require droids that understand the apparently unique binary language they use.
 
How about you make him a scientist with no morals? Are there Ewoks in this era? If not, maybe he captured a bunch of them and has been keeping them in cages. He's now performing Nazi-type experiments on them.
