Created new website

I have created a new website. I have been using Google Sites to create my old website. I like the classic Google Sites because it allows the user to take control of the structure by programming in html. However, the new Google Sites no longer have this feature, and since the classic Google Sites will be discontinued in 2021, I had to do something else. After a bit of Google search, I found this template, which is exactly what I wanted (ability to take full control, free, no advertisements, etc.).

I haven’t migrated all the contents from my old website yet, but will do so gradually.

Website updated

less than 1 minute read

After spending several days, I significantly updated my website. Below is a list of main changes.

  • Previously, there was a “Research” page that I created manually. But it was tedious to list all papers in a consistent style (like journal names in bold face, coauthors in italics, etc.) so I automated it.
  • I omitted publication information except the journal name and year, because I don’t think they are very important and one can easily find by clicking the link to the published paper.
  • I searched for all my paper drafts in my computer and added slides whenever I found them.
  • I merged “Conference proceedings” with “Other publications” because I don’t see a reason to keep proceedings as a separate section given that I don’t have many.

Talks

Maybe it is not the best use of my time but I created a “Talks” page, which lists past and future talks and presentations. After spending all afternoon tweaking the code, I created something satisfactory. For now I included only talks in 2023 and 2024 but I might add past ones.
