Your researcher website

A plain HTML/CSS/JS site — no build step, nothing to install. Three files: index.html, styles.css, script.js.

1. Edit the content

Open index.html in any text editor and replace the placeholder text:

• Your name, title, and institution (top of the sidebar and the <title> tag)
• The hero line and sub-line
• About, Research, Publications, CV, and Contact sections
• Email address and social links (mailto:you@example.com, GitHub, Scholar, ORCID, etc.)
• Add or remove publication entries by copying/deleting a <li class="pub">...</li> block
• Add or remove CV rows the same way, inside .timeline-list

Colors and fonts live at the top of styles.css under :root if you want to adjust the palette later.

2. Put it on GitHub Pages

1. Create a new repository on GitHub named exactly YOUR-USERNAME.github.io (replace with your actual GitHub username — this exact naming is what makes GitHub serve it as a personal site).
2. Upload index.html, styles.css, and script.js to the repository (drag-and-drop via "Add file → Upload files" on github.com works fine, or use git from your terminal — see below).
3. Go to the repo's Settings → Pages.
4. Under "Build and deployment", set Source to "Deploy from a branch", branch main, folder /root. Save.
5. Wait a minute or two, then visit https://YOUR-USERNAME.github.io.

Using git from the terminal instead of the upload button

git init
git add index.html styles.css script.js README.md
git commit -m "Initial site"
git branch -M main
git remote add origin https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/YOUR-USERNAME.github.io.git
git push -u origin main

3. Optional next steps

• Add a CV PDF to the repo (e.g. cv.pdf) and point the "Download full CV" link at it.
• Add a custom domain later via Settings → Pages → Custom domain, if you get one.
• Add an og:image / social preview meta tag once you have a headshot or banner you like.

No framework, no npm, no build process — editing the HTML and pushing to GitHub is the entire workflow.
