Overview

The source of my academic website. It presents my research, publications, funded projects, academic appointments, awards, and professional service. The site is a static single-page application: the markup lives in index.html, and almost all content is read from JSON files under data/.

Updating content

• Publications (data/publications.json): authors are written as in the CV ("U. Khalid" is highlighted automatically). Optional fields: doi (adds a DOI link), impactFactor, status (e.g. "Early Access"), badges, and topics (drives the topic filter).
• Research tab (data/research.json): each theme has a nav label, icon, overview paragraphs, and a list of key contributions.
• News and highlights: add entries to data/news.json. The four latest (by date, "YYYY/MM") appear as Highlights cards on the home page and the rest are listed under News below them. A card links to the tab for its type (Publication, Patent, Award, Talk, Recognition, PhD); set link ("#activities" or a URL) and linkLabel to override.
• Co-author network (data/collaborations.json): papers counts are derived from publications.json. Affiliations are only filled in where the CV states them; add university and country to other co-authors to enrich the Organizations and Countries views.

Profile photo

The portrait is assets/images/profile/umankhalid_profile.jpg. To change it, replace that file (or point the src of #profileMain in index.html at a new one). The crop is set by .profile-image.main in styles.css.

Profile links

The floating link bar (.social-floating in index.html) links to Google Scholar, ORCID, ResearchGate, LinkedIn, the Communications and Quantum Information Laboratory, and email. A GitHub or Scopus link can be added with the already-styled social-icon github / social-icon scopus classes.

Google Scholar metrics

The citation card under the name on the home page reads data/scholar.json. The Update Google Scholar metrics workflow refreshes it from profile CyVQHYEAAAAJ every five hours and commits only when a number changes. Besides the profile totals, the file lists every paper on the profile with its citation count; each publication on the Publications tab whose title matches one (ignoring case and punctuation) shows a Google Scholar badge with that count, linking to its "Cited by" list. Patents and anything Scholar does not list get no badge. It needs Settings → Actions → General → Workflow permissions → Read and write so it can push. The profile id is set in .github/workflows/update-scholar.yml (--id).

Search engines and sharing

The main page draws its sections with JavaScript, which Google runs but many other crawlers (Bing, link previews, AI search tools) do not. So scripts/build-seo-pages.mjs also writes the content out as plain files: publications/index.html (every paper with authors, venue, DOI, Google Scholar citations, and schema.org structured data), llms.txt, and sitemap.xml. The workflow above runs it after each citation refresh and whenever data/publications.json is pushed, so these never need editing by hand. To rebuild locally: node scripts/build-seo-pages.mjs.

Link previews (LinkedIn, X, Slack) use assets/images/meta/og-image.jpg (1200 x 630).

Date-stamping hook

git config core.hooksPath .githooks

On each commit the hook stamps today's date into the footer, the JSON-LD dateModified, and sitemap.xml.
