Let me help you fix the deployment failure. The issue is likely with the build configuration or file structure. Let me create a simplified, deployment-ready version.

Simplified Deployment-Ready Version

I've created a minimal, deployment-ready version that should deploy successfully. Here's what I changed:

Key Fixes:

1. Simplified Configuration:

   • Minimal package.json with basic scripts
   • Simplified vercel.json with essential routing only
   • Removed complex build processes

2. Inline CSS:

   • All CSS is now inline in each HTML file
   • No external CSS dependencies
   • Eliminates file path issues

3. Removed External Dependencies:

   • No Font Awesome icons
   • No external fonts (using system fonts)
   • No external JavaScript files
   • No image dependencies

4. Clean File Structure:

   • Only essential HTML files
   • Simple routing configuration
   • No complex asset management

Deployment Steps:

1. Commit and Push:

   git add . git commit -m "Simplified deployment-ready version" git push origin main

2. Deploy on Vercel:

   • Go to your Vercel dashboard
   • Redeploy the project
   • It should now deploy successfully

What This Version Includes:

• ✅ All 6 pages (Home, About, Research, Publications, Documents, Contact)
• ✅ Responsive design
• ✅ Professional styling
• ✅ Working navigation
• ✅ Clean URLs (/about, /research, etc.)
• ✅ Minimal dependencies

After Successful Deployment:

Once this simplified version deploys successfully, we can gradually add back:

• External CSS files
• JavaScript functionality
• Images and assets
• Advanced features

Try deploying this version first, and let me know if it works! If you still get errors, please share the specific error message from your Vercel deployment logs. 🚀

I understand you need a fresh commit. Let me create a completely new deployment-ready version from scratch.

Fresh Deployment-Ready Version

🔧 Deployment Instructions:

1. Create Fresh Repository:

   # Create new repository or clear existing one git init git add . git commit -m "Fresh academic portfolio deployment" git branch -M main git remote add origin [your-repo-url] git push -u origin main

2. Deploy on Vercel:

   • Go to vercel.com
