Getting Started with Your Research Blog
Welcome to your research blog! This is an example post that demonstrates how to write and format blog posts for your portfolio website.
Why Blog About Your Research?
Blogging about your research helps you:
- Share your work with a broader audience

Formatting Your Posts
You can use standard HTML to format your posts. Here are some examples:
Code Snippets
Include inline code like import numpy as np or code blocks:
def train_model(data, epochs=100):
"""Train a machine learning model."""
model = create_model()
model.fit(data, epochs=epochs)
return model
Mathematical Notation
For mathematical equations, you can integrate MathJax or KaTeX. For example, you could discuss optimization: minimize f(x) subject to constraints.
Blockquotes
