asterios.katsifodimos.com

Personal academic website and CV for Asterios Katsifodimos, Assistant Professor at TU Delft.

What's in this repo

Directory	Purpose
data/	YAML source of truth — all content lives here, shared by website and CV
web/	Jekyll website, deployed to GitHub Pages
cv/	CV pipeline: Node.js + EJS templates → LaTeX → PDF
Makefile	Root-level build orchestration

Content is edited only in data/*.yml. The website and CV both read from there — you never need to touch templates for routine updates.

Quick start

make install   # Install Ruby gems (web) + npm packages (cv)
make preview   # Serve site at http://localhost:4000 (live reload)
make cv        # Generate LaTeX and compile PDF
make all       # Build both

Editing content

All content is in data/. Each file maps to a section:

File	Website page	Notes
publications.yml	/publications/	Full publication list
selected_publications.yml	/publications/	Featured cards; references ids from publications.yml
awards.yml	Home	Grants, awards, honors
supervision.yml	/people/	PhD students, postdocs, master theses
teaching.yml	/teaching/	Courses by institution
service.yml	/service/	PC memberships, chairs
employment.yml	/bio/ timeline	Also drives the CV employment section
education.yml	CV only	Degrees
personal.yml	CV only	Contact info, name
funding.yml	CV only	Grants with amounts
invited_talks.yml	CV only	Talks and keynotes
referees.yml	CV only	Reference contacts

cv_only flag

• cv_only: true — entry is included in the CV but hidden from the website
• cv_only: {key: value} — entry is shown on the website; the object carries CV-only metadata (e.g., {funding: "NWO VIDI"})

Career timeline

The /bio/ timeline is generated from employment.yml. All entries without cv_only: true appear on the timeline. Education milestones (PhD, BSc/MSc) are stored in employment.yml with cv_section: null.

Tech stack

• Jekyll — static site generator
• Bootstrap 5 — layout and responsive grid (CDN)
• Font Awesome 6 — icons (CDN)
• Node.js + EJS — CV template rendering
• pdflatex + biber — LaTeX → PDF compilation

Deployment

The site deploys via GitHub Actions (.github/workflows/deploy.yml) on every push to master — not GitHub's native Jekyll build, which can't handle the web/ subdirectory layout.
