Thanks to Wowchemy for this Website Template
Just trying out this Academic Template from Wowchemy for my personal website. I am recently fascinated with static site generators like Jekyll and Hugo (which is the one used by Wowchemy) and the workflow of combining GitHub and Netlify –things that are very new to me but should have learned a few years back.
