Repository files navigation

This repository contains my personal academic website. It is based on the Academic Pages Theme, which was forked from Minimal Mistakes.

The site has two separate workflows:

  • The Jekyll website lives at the repository root and is what you preview locally.
  • The CV source lives under cv/ and is generated separately from the website.

Setup

  1. Clone the repository.
  2. Install Ruby, Bundler, and Node.js if they are not already available.
  3. Install the Ruby dependencies from the repo root with bundle install.
  4. If you plan to edit the CV source, install the Python dependencies under cv/ with python3 -m venv cv/.venv, source cv/.venv/bin/activate, and pip install -r cv/requirements.txt.

Preview The Website

Run the local Jekyll server from the repository root:

bundle exec jekyll serve --livereload --host 127.0.0.1 --port 4000

Then open http://127.0.0.1:4000. Jekyll will rebuild automatically when you edit pages, posts, data files, or assets.

Edit Content

  • Edit site pages in _pages/ and _posts/.
  • Edit navigation, author info, and shared site data in _data/.
  • Put downloadable files in files/ and images in images/ or assets/images/.
  • Publication data comes from the BibTeX files in cv/publications/*.bib; edit those files, then regenerate the site data with python scripts/bib2csl.py from the repository root.

Edit The CV

The CV is generated from the files under cv/.

  • Update the CV data in cv/cv.yaml.
  • Update publication sources in cv/publications/*.bib.
  • Update layout and rendering logic in cv/templates/ if the output structure needs to change.
  • Regenerate the publication data that the website uses with python scripts/bib2csl.py.
  • Regenerate the CV source with cd cv && python generate.py cv.yaml -l.

If you want the CV PDF, you also need a LaTeX toolchain with latexmk and biber, then build from cv/ using make.

Notes

  • Do not edit the generated _site/ output directly; Jekyll rewrites it on the next build.
  • The cv/ generator tree is excluded from Jekyll so local preview stays focused on the website.
  • The site is intentionally minimal and keeps the CV in the navigation bar.
