Hi everyone, welcome to my new, shiny, quarto-based web-site.

Before that, I was using Jekyll, as recommended by the github pages documentation. However, Jekyll is really overkill for a simple academic website (and a simpleton like myself). I tried different things, and ended up using this template, but I found it difficult to adapt to my needs (and it’s not maintained anymore).

Long story short: I have just switched to quarto, and I am very glad I did. I manage to do more advanced things (like adding a blog) in much less time.

Also, math support is great: \(2+\int_0^1 f(x) dx\). You can also type code:

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
from scipy import stats

sob = stats.qmc.Sobol(2)
u = sob.random(4096)  # must be a power of 2
z = stats.norm.ppf(u)
x = z
rho = 0.9
x[:, 1] += rho * z[:, 0] + np.sqrt(1. - rho**2) * z[:, 1]

plt.figure()
plt.style.use('ggplot')
plt.scatter(x[:, 0], x[:, 1], alpha=0.5)
plt.show()
