People (Members)

Everything about the people shown on the People page (/people): the PI, current students, alumni, and visiting members.

  • Content location: src/content/members/
  • Photos: public/images/members/
  • Resumes (optional): public/docs/resumes/
  • Schema source of truth: src/content/config.ts
  • Rendered by: src/pages/people.astro and src/pages/members/[...slug].astro

The People page is folder-driven. A member appears in a section based on the folder their file lives in — not just the role field. Putting the file in the right folder is the most important step.

Folders → sections

Folder Shows up as
members/pi/ Principal Investigator
members/current/phd/ Current Ph.D. students
members/current/masters/ Current Master's students
members/current/undergraduate/ Current undergraduates
members/alumni/ Alumni (grouped, see below)
members/visiting/students/ Visiting students
members/visiting/faculty/ Visiting faculty

A current/postdoc/ folder may exist but is not rendered. Current post-docs are not shown as a separate section; post-doctoral alumni appear under Alumni via alumniType: "Post-Doctoral Researcher".

Add a new student

  1. Pick the folder for the student's role:

    • src/content/members/current/phd/
    • src/content/members/current/masters/
    • src/content/members/current/undergraduate/

  2. Create a file named after the person, e.g. jane-doe.md.

  3. Add the frontmatter:

    ---
name: "Jane Doe"
role: "Ph.D." # "Ph.D." | "Masters" | "Undergraduate"
joinDate: "2026"
email: "jdoe@asu.edu"
github: "https://github.com/janedoe"
linkedin: "https://www.linkedin.com/in/jane-doe/"
google_scholar: "https://scholar.google.com/..."
resume: "/docs/resumes/jane-doe.pdf"
researchInterests: ["AI-driven Multi-Level Compilers"]
order: 99
image: "/images/members/jane-doe.jpg"
isAlumni: false
---
Short bio in Markdown.

  4. Add the photo at public/images/members/jane-doe.jpg (and resume PDF if used).

  5. Validate: npm run build.

Update a member's details

  1. Open the member's file under src/content/members/....
  2. Edit the frontmatter fields or the bio body.
  3. If you change the photo, replace the file in public/images/members/ (keep the same path, or update the image field).
  4. Validate: npm run build.

To change the order a member appears in their section, set order (lower numbers appear first).

Move a student to alumni

  1. Move the file into the alumni folder, keeping the filename stable:

    • from src/content/members/current/masters/jane-doe.md
    • to src/content/members/alumni/jane-doe.md

  2. Update the frontmatter:

    ---
name: "Jane Doe"
role: "Alumni"
joinDate: "2023"
image: "/images/members/jane-doe.jpg"
isAlumni: true
alumniType: "Master’s Graduate"
graduated: "Masters, Spring 2026"
currentPosition: "ML Engineer at Example Corp"
---

  3. Set alumniType to one of (a single value or an array of these):

    • "Ph.D. Graduate"
    • "Master’s Graduate"
    • "Undergraduate Researcher"
    • "Post-Doctoral Researcher"

  4. Validate: npm run build.

Important: an alumni file with an empty or missing alumniType will not appear in any alumni subsection. Always set a recognized value.

Remove a member

  1. Delete the member's file from src/content/members/....
  2. Optionally delete their now-unused assets:
    • public/images/members/<slug>.jpg
    • public/docs/resumes/<slug>.pdf
  3. Validate: npm run build.

Removing a current student usually means moving them to alumni instead — see Move a student to alumni.
