I've decided to enter the doctoral program in April 2026.

First, the conclusion. I received my acceptance letter the other day, and I'll be entering the doctoral program, or PhD program, in April 2026.

My specialty is robotics, which roughly translates to researching AI and robots, with the aim of earning my degree in four years. (The usual length is three years, but since I'm a working PhD, I've set it longer.)
