The website was built using Jekyll and Github pages. Organization of the website is
structured such that each page's associated data has a corresponding folder (if
necessary) under _data and _assets (for images). The exception to this are
individual pages, which are under people/_posts. Page templates and common
elements are stored in _layouts and _includes respectively.
A Jupyter notebook with a Github Actions cron job will be utilized to update recent publications on a monthly basis.
The design of the website and use of Jekyll was inspired by nbclab.github.io.
See below for instructions on modifying each page. To modify or update a page, please make the necessary changes make a pull request to the repository!
Currently, the only way to preview these changes prior to publishing is on your local machine by following the instructions on the following page.
This page contains information regarding recruitment. In the pages front matter,
it includes 2 variables postdoc_recruit and grad_recruit - setting these to
true/false will update the page with associated information.
For post-doc opportunities, updating the YAML file in join/postdoc.yml will add
different available positions.
This page contains all present and past lab members. Each member's profile can be
found in a markdown file under _posts. Within the front matter of each these
files, contains information such as email, department, a link to a profile picture
(a placeholder is used if not provided).
In order to facilitate sorting on the page, a year-month-date format has been
utilized. The year and date are irrelevant, but the month is used to identify
the member's role (e.g. Post-doc vs PhD). the mapping can be seen below:
01 - Staff
02 - Post-doc
03 - PhD Student
04 - Master's Student
05 - Undergraduate Student
A template has been drawn up and can be found in the people/_drafts directory.
By clicking on each user's profile picture, a window will pop up with information in detail, including a short blurb about the user, if provided.
Similar to people, posts (found under news/_posts) are used to create articles. However, the date used here is important as it is used to sort and grab the latest articles.
News prior to summer of 2021 is unavailable
A Jupyter notebook is used to grab all publications. Github is used to automate this process. This is updated monthly, and is currently set to display the 3 most recent articles. A full list of publications found is stored in a spreadsheet found in _data/index/publications/publications.csv.
