Vladimir Lapin - Research Portfolio

A modular, data-driven personal website built with Hugo and PaperMod, optimized for climate science, HPC engineering, and AI research presentation.

Core Philosophy

This website is designed for "Lazy Maintenance": the content is driven by structured data and automated scripts. Most sections update themselves based on your actual work (GitHub activity and ORCID publications).

Automation Workflows

1. Manual Sync (Local)

To refresh all your data (ORCID papers, GitHub stars, and stats) manually:

make sync

2. Automatic Sync (GitHub Actions)

The site runs a GitHub Action every night at midnight that:

1. Fetches latest papers from ORCID.
2. Creates a "Micro-post" in content/posts/ for any new paper found.
3. Fetches latest activity from GitHub.
4. Recalculates all site statistics (Impact Metrics).
5. Commits changes and triggers a new site build.

Developer Workflows

Creating a New Post

For a standard deep-dive:

hugo new posts/my-article.md

For a quick news update (micro-blog style):

hugo new posts/news-update.md --kind micro

Git Workflow: Commit & Push

When you make manual changes (e.g., updating profile.yaml):

git add .
git commit -m "Update professional title"
git push origin main

Git Workflow: Consolidate History (Squash)

To keep the history clean by squashing your recent local changes into one:

# Reset to a known stable commit (e.g., origin/main) while keeping your work staged
git reset --soft origin/main
git commit -m "feat: Detailed description of your updates"
git push origin main --force
