Senior🎓
Top SchoolJūlija Pečerska is a researcher and lecturer with 13 years of experience building high-performance, scalable phylogenetic software—currently leading development of a Rust-based library at ZHAW. Her work bridges theory and practice: she develops novel phylogenetic and alignment methods (including explicit modeling of insertions/deletions) and integrates them so both end users and other method developers can adopt them. An experienced mentor and educator, she co-heads the ICLS Master’s programme and prioritizes making complex analytical tools understandable and usable by the community. Her background combines rigorous computational biology research at ETH with industrial software engineering experience, giving her a rare fluency in large-scale data handling, tools development and clear scientific communication.
