liamlts.github.io

Personal academic website of Liam T. Schmidt — PhD candidate in condensed matter physics at Northeastern University (DeLTA Lab, Quantum Matter and Sensing Institute).

Live at https://liamlts.github.io/.

What this is

A hand-built static site — plain HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript, no framework or build step. The only external dependencies are loaded from CDNs at runtime (Google Fonts, Leaflet for the facilities map, and CARTO basemap tiles).

Deployment

Pushing to main triggers .github/workflows/deploy.yml, which uploads the site/ directory as the GitHub Pages artifact and deploys it. There is no build step — site/ is served as-is.

To preview locally:

cd site && python3 -m http.server 8000
# open http://localhost:8000
