I am presently receiving a PhD scholarship awarded by INESC-ID Lisboa.

Planning:

Goals

• To receive a PhD certification in the time period of 4 years since it's beginning (March 2008)

Project Deliverables

• Written PhD thesis
• Conclude the 5 courses
• Publish some articles (around 3 to 7)

Project Schedule

• First year: Finish at least 4 courses and have a published article.
• Second year: Completion of the state of the art and formulation of the hypothesis.
• Third and fourth year: Do the real work, the tests and the written thesis.

Risks

• To stop receiving a PhD scholarship.
• To lose time while doing other things (like teaching).
