Architecture

This is a Jekyll-based personal academic website using the Minimal Mistakes remote theme (mmistakes/minimal-mistakes@4.19.2). It is deployed to GitHub Pages.

Content structure

• _pages/ — Static pages: publications.md, students.md, about.md, teaching.md, service.md, etc.
• _posts/ — Blog posts, named YYYY-MM-DD-title.md
• _data/navigation.yml — Top navigation menu
• lost+found/ — PDF files for research papers (referenced in publications.md)
• images/ — Image assets

Key pages to update

• Scholarship: _pages/publications.md — scholarship intro and publications list at /scholarship/; entries grouped by year in reverse chronological order, formatted as numbered Markdown lists with author links and PDF links pointing to lost+found/.
• Students: _pages/students.md — current students and alumni sections.

Front matter defaults

All posts default to layout: single with author_profile: true, read_time: true, share: true, and related: true (set in _config.yml). Pages use layout: single with author_profile: true.

Theme customization

Custom Sass overrides go in _sass/. Layout and include overrides go in _layouts/ and _includes/ respectively, which take precedence over the remote theme’s files.
