# Publications

A curated bibliography of articles, standards work, papers, patents, interviews, and a book contribution. Entries link to publisher, standards-body, DOI, institutional, or patent records. Roles are separated so editing, co-authorship, invention, and interview participation are not presented as sole authorship.

For the broader personal archives, see all [APM Tips posts](https://apmtips.com/posts/) and the current [TIL articles](../til/).
