Out of that five years for an ECE Ph.D, how much time will I spend at Carnegie Mellon and how much time at the partner university in Portugal?
We expect that you will spend about two years at Carnegie Mellon and the remaining two to three years in Portugal. But, during both periods of time, you will periodically have short visits with the other university, about a week at a time. For example, while you are at Carnegie Mellon you will periodically visit with your advisor in Portugal, and while you are in Portugal, you will periodically visit with your advisor at Carnegie Mellon. Additionally, students have weekly teleconferences with the non-resident advisors. In this way, your work and communication with both of your advisors is seamless.
