About this Theme
Academic Pages is the most widely used academic personal website template on GitHub, with over 12,000 stars and hundreds of thousands of researchers using it worldwide. It’s a fork of Minimal Mistakes, extended specifically for academic use cases: publications with BibTeX citations, conference talks with slides and video links, course teaching pages, a project portfolio, and a CV that generates itself from structured YAML files.
The fork-to-publish model is particularly popular in academia — researchers can have a live personal website on GitHub Pages within minutes, with no server, no CMS, and no ongoing cost.
Who is it for? Researchers, academics, PhD students, and scientists who want a professional web presence that highlights publications, talks, and research without complex web development.
