Self-directed doctoral program · progress saved in this browser
Research-scientist depth in AI, ML & generative models.
Seven-phase core spine plus optional specialization tracks. Every item is checkable with a working link. Major learning units expand to show rationale, prerequisites, key topics, mastery checks and a required artifact — and support four states so you can mark real mastery, not just "watched it." Beyond that, major units now track six independent competency dimensions (Understand → Derive → Implement → Experiment → Critique → Research) that you back with evidence records, not just self-rating — because completing a course is not the same as being research-ready. Specialization tracks and modules start collapsed to keep the page clean; open what you're working on. Mark each specialization track's role — Primary / Secondary / Reading literacy / Not pursuing — from its section header; the Research, Dashboard and Gates tabs above turn that plus your evidence into a hypothesis log, a decomposed progress dashboard, and five defended research checkpoints.

Research
The apparatus that turns study into contribution.
Recurring research activity, logged explicitly — and a running Observation → Question → Hypothesis → Experiment → Result log. Nothing here is inferred from ticking a paper "done."
Dashboard
Decomposed progress — never one misleading percentage.
Resource completion, competency development, evidence strength and research independence are tracked and shown separately, on purpose.
Gates
Research gates — defended, not checked off.
Five explicit checkpoints. Each supports a real status (not attempted / self-assessed pass / external pass / needs revision), notes, and evidence links.
Frontier
Live research fronts.
A research radar you maintain yourself — topics, why they matter, key papers, and when you last reviewed each one — plus the Frontier module from the curriculum below it. The radar highlights topics due for review on a rolling basis; it never assumes a particular current year.
