About

USC is a researcher homepage in the university palette. The page behind the panel is cardinal, and the panel itself is light gray. Home, research, students, teaching, and publications all share that frame.

Open a publication to copy its BibTeX. On a phone the portrait stacks above the bio and the navigation wraps under the name. Scaffold a copy with the create command below, then replace the name, contact details, and sample papers.
