There is not much "personal" in it in the sense that you don't show you have actually read any work of that person. Some of your articles is rather vague: all supervisors have evidently written articles. You can perhaps be more specific. | |

I've seen people swapping from one lab (AI) to another (Electrical engineering) without much problems. The ability to learn something new is most of the time more useful than knowing an entire subject's library by heart. | |

In arrangements I know, someone can become your supervisor by the very action of giving you a Master thesis topic. Conversely, what is a supervisor/how is there a supervisor when you have not yet chosen a particular topic (which would be supervised by a particular person)? | |

If you have so many ideas, pick one of those to work with your current supervisor or suggest this as a topic to your "new" supervisor. But since I suspect you do not really have that many ideas and you really need a professor to suggest a topic for you, do not state otherwise. | |
