Site Architecture

Jekyll Collections

The site uses Jekyll collections to organize different content types. Collections are defined in _config.yml:

collections:
  teaching:
    output: true
    permalink: /:collection/:path/
  publications:
    output: true
    permalink: /:collection/:path/
  awards:
    output: true
    permalink: /:collection/:path
  service:
    output: true
    permalink: /:collection/:path/

Each collection has its own directory prefixed with underscore (e.g., _publications/).

Layouts

Layouts in _layouts/ define page templates:

Includes

Reusable components in _includes/:

• author-profile.html - Sidebar with author info and social links
• masthead.html - Site header with navigation
• footer.html - Site footer
• slim-pub.html - Compact publication display
• slim-service.html - Compact service display
• slim-award.html - Compact award display

Navigation

Site navigation is configured in _data/navigation.yml:

  - title: "Publications"
    url: /publications/
  - title: "Teaching"
    url: /teaching/
  - title: "Service"
    url: /service/
