Single-page academic website for Rakesh Podder, Ph.D. Candidate in Computer Science at Colorado State University. Redesigned July 2026 ("Navy Academic" theme).

Live: https://cryptoknight13.github.io/rpodder/

Structure

index.html              Single-page site (Home, About, Research, Publications,
                        Awards, Teaching, Service, Talks, Skills, Contact)
Style/main.css          Navy Academic design system (responsive, print-friendly)
main.js                 Nav, scroll-spy, publication filters, reveal animations
images/                 Photos and figures
cv/rakesh-podder-cv.tex LaTeX source for the CV
Rakesh-Podder-CV.pdf    Compiled CV (linked from the site)
_legacy/                Previous multi-page version (archived, not served)

Running locally

Static site — no build step. Serve the folder and open in a browser:

cd rpodder
python3 -m http.server 8080
# open http://localhost:8080/index.html

External resources (Google Fonts, Font Awesome) load from CDN, so keep an internet connection for local preview. All internal paths are relative, so the site works both at the domain root and under the /rpodder/ GitHub Pages path.

Editing content

All content lives in index.html. Data (publications, awards, funding, talks, mentees, references) mirrors cv/rakesh-podder-cv.tex — update both to keep the CV PDF and the website in sync.

Rebuilding the CV PDF

Requires a TeX distribution (TeX Live) with tgpagella, tfrupee, microtype, titlesec, enumitem, fancyhdr.

cd cv
pdflatex rakesh-podder-cv.tex
pdflatex rakesh-podder-cv.tex        # run twice for headers/refs
cp rakesh-podder-cv.pdf ../Rakesh-Podder-CV.pdf

Deploying (GitHub Pages)

Commit and push to the branch GitHub Pages serves (project site at https://cryptoknight13.github.io/rpodder/). No CI/build required.
