But sharing those insights effectively usually means taking screenshots, messy copy-pasting, or exporting to PDF.</p> <p>Hugo Blox changes that. With the <code>{{< notebook >}}</code> shortcode, you can render your actual <code>.ipynb</code> files directly as beautiful, interactive blog posts or project pages. Keep your code, outputs, and narrative in one place.</p> <details class="print:hidden xl:hidden" open> <summary>Table of Contents</summary> <div class="text-sm"> <nav id="TableOfContents"> <ul> <li><a href="#why-publish-notebooks">Why publish notebooks?</a></li> <li><a href="#example-data-science-workflow">Example: Data Science Workflow</a></li> <li><a href="#how-to-add-a-notebook">How to add a notebook</a></li> <li><a href="#next-steps">Next steps</a></li> </ul> </nav> </div> </details> <h2 id="why-publish-notebooks">Why publish notebooks?</h2> <div class="callout flex px-4 py-3 mb-6 rounded-md border-l-4 bg-emerald-100 dark:bg-emerald-900 border-emerald-500" data-callout="tip" data-callout-metadata=""> <span class="callout-icon pr-3 pt-1 text-emerald-600 dark:text-emerald-300"> <svg height="24" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 24 24"><path fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" stroke-width="1.5" d="M12 18v-5.25m0 0a6 6 0 0 0 1.5-.189m-1.5.189a6 6 0 0 1-1.5-.189m3.75 7.478a12.1 12.1 0 0 1-4.5 0m3.75 2.383a14.4 14.4 0 0 1-3 0M14.25 18v-.192c0-.983.658-1.823 1.508-2.316a7.5 7.5 0 1 0-7.517 0c.85.493 1.509 1.333 1.509 2.316V18"/></svg> </span> <div class="callout-content dark:text-neutral-300"> <div class="callout-title font-semibold mb-1">Tip</div> <div class="callout-body"><p><strong>Reproducible Research</strong>: By publishing the actual notebook, you allow others to download and run your code, verifying your results and building upon your work.</p></div> </div> </div> <ul> <li><strong>No more screenshots</strong> – Render crisp code and vector plots directly from your source.</li> <li><strong>Theme consistent</strong> – Notebooks automatically adapt to your site’s theme (including dark mode).</li> <li><strong>Flexible sourcing</strong> – Display notebooks from your <code>assets/</code> folder, page bundles, or even directly from a remote GitHub URL.</li> <li><strong>Interactive</strong> – Users can copy code blocks or download the full notebook to run locally.</li> </ul> <h2 id="example-data-science-workflow">Example: Data Science Workflow</h2> <p>Below is a live example of a notebook rendered right here in this post.

Loveland</em></p> <p>Developed a novel debris detection algorithm for space-based optical sensors. Classical background-subtraction methods systematically remove faint, slow-moving objects — exactly the objects of interest in space domain awareness.</p> <p>This approach uses an optical flow background removal scheme specifically designed to retain faint objects, followed by object detection classification. The method was validated on simulated imagery from a dynamic (tumbling/maneuvering) satellite observer.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Brayton Cycle Optimization</h1> <p>Sun, 01 Jan 2023 00:00:00 +0000</p> <p>Team analysis of Brayton cycle variants for optimal thermodynamic performance.</p> <ul> <li>Created analytical models of various Brayton cycles</li> <li>Analyzed cycle exergy, thermal efficiency, and net work production</li> <li>Gave recommendations of components most beneficial to improve cycle efficiency</li> <li>Proposed an optimized design</li> </ul> </article> <article> <h1>Deep Computer Vision Demonstration</h1> <p>Sun, 01 Jan 2023 00:00:00 +0000</p> <p>An outreach demonstration introducing deep computer vision to general audiences.</p> <p>Developed as part of department outreach efforts at South Dakota Mines:</p> <ul> <li>Gave an introductory presentation on applications of deep computer vision</li> <li>Implemented a live object detection demonstration via a CNN</li> <li>Modified and stabilized research code to perform live neural style transfer (NST) for various images</li> <li>Created a unified demonstration GUI for different computer vision algorithms</li> </ul> </article> <article> <h1>Reinforcement Learning Control Demonstration</h1> <p>Sun, 01 Jan 2023 00:00:00 +0000</p> <p>An outreach demonstration introducing reinforcement learning control to general audiences.</p> <ul> <li>Gave an introductory presentation at an appropriate technical level for non-specialists</li> <li>Developed a set of demonstrations of reinforcement learning control</li> <li>Performed algorithm benchmarking across multiple RL approaches</li> </ul> </article> <article> <h1>Supersonic Phase-change Ejector Cycle for Thermal Refrigeration Efficiency (SPECTRE)</h1> <p>Sun, 01 Jan 2023 00:00:00 +0000</p> <p>Team design project analyzing and optimizing a supersonic phase-change ejector refrigeration cycle.</p> <ul> <li>Created computational models of various refrigeration cycles</li> <li>Analyzed a variety of working fluids for each cycle design</li> <li>Gave recommendations of components that are most beneficial to improve cycle efficiency</li> <li>Proposed an optimized design via solving an optimization problem numerically</li> </ul> </article> <article> <h1>Trebuchet Competition</h1> <p>Sun, 01 Jan 2023 00:00:00 +0000</p> <p>Trebuchet design and optimization as part of Rocker Robotics competition activities (2021–2023).</p> <ul> <li>Assisted in trebuchet building and data collection for Rocker Robotics</li> <li>Performed model identification and regression to determine optimal counterweight masses and tang angles</li> </ul> </article> <article> <h1>UUV Self-Localization and Intelligent Mapping</h1> <p>Sun, 01 Jan 2023 00:00:00 +0000</p> </article> <article> <h1>Rocker Robotics — National Robotics Challenge</h1> <p>Sat, 01 Jan 2022 00:00:00 +0000</p> <p>Rocker Robotics entry in the National Robotics Challenge Autonomous Vehicle Challenge (2021–2022).</p> <ul> <li>Competed in the National Robotics Challenge’s Autonomous Vehicle Challenge</li> <li>Implemented computer vision techniques to locate key features on the field</li> <li>Created a high-fidelity simulation environment</li> <li>Explored reinforcement learning control strategies</li> </ul> </article> <article> <h1>Terrain Investigational and Navigational Automaton (TINA)</h1> <p>Sat, 01 Jan 2022 00:00:00 +0000</p> <p>A differential drive robot built for autonomous course navigation using computer vision feedback control.</p> <ul> <li>Built a differential drive robot with camera module</li> <li>Utilized computer vision techniques to determine desired path through the course</li> <li>Performed pixel-to-torque control to successfully navigate the course</li> </ul> </article> <article> <h1>Starting Longitudes and the Lifetimes of Closely Spaced Four-Planet Systems</h1> <p>Mon, 13 Dec 2021 00:00:00 +0000</p> </article> <article> <h1>Orbital Stability of Compact Four-Planet Systems</h1> <p>Sun, 03 Oct 2021 00:00:00 +0000</p> </article> <article> <h1>Dependence of Lifetimes of Closely-Spaced Planetary Systems on Number of Planets</h1> <p>Fri, 01 Oct 2021 00:00:00 +0000</p> </article> <article> <h1>Orbital Stability of Compact Four-Planet Systems</h1> <p>Tue, 01 Dec 2020 00:00:00 +0000</p> </article> </main></body></html>
