Hey thanx Russell...yup, concurrency definitely seems to be one of the "hot" issue wrt language design; the thing is, I was hoping I could be in an environment(academic or otherwise) with like-minded people where I could be in the midst of good ideas and also position myself well for commercial work in the field; therefore, still looking out for academic programs...Thanks again though.
That was what I was suggesting. A few years ago I was very interested in language design from the perspective of generative programming and type system. I did an extensive literature search, reading the papers and all that. as a side effect I found out which university departments were actively exploring what I was interested in. Out popped Don Batory at U Texas, Krzystof Czarnecki, and work done at CMU and MIT. I recommend this as a way to focus in on what you are interested in and who to work with.

Thanks again Russell...this looks like the way to go! I really appreciate your advice, Shubham Harnal.
