Hou Shengren Public Site

This repository contains the public bilingual website for Hou Shengren. The site is positioned as a public personal profile for an energy technology entrepreneur and researcher, not as an internal company site or an academic-only homepage.

Purpose and audience

• Present a public profile for readers in academia, industry, media, and collaboration networks.
• Explain current work across electricity markets, AI decision systems, storage and flexibility, and energy digitalization.
• Provide a curated record of public milestones without exposing private or internal information.

Bilingual structure

The main site pages are maintained in both English and Chinese on the same routes:

• About
• News
• Research
• Publications
• CV
• Contact

Public-content and privacy rules

• Use only public-safe summaries.
• Do not publish phone numbers, detailed addresses, birth dates, private identifiers, or internal company operating details.
• Do not publish financing structure, equity terms, customer specifics, contracts, hiring plans, internal meeting notes, or government-relations details.
• Treat the News page as a manually curated public milestones page, not as an internal changelog.

Updating the site

• Update the page content under _pages/.
• Keep News reverse-chronological and public-safe.
• Run py -3 scripts/verify_public_site.py after content changes.
• If Ruby and Bundler are available, build locally with bundle exec jekyll build.
• If local Ruby is unavailable, rely on the GitHub Actions Pages workflow for build verification.
