Senior🎓
Top SchoolSvitlana Lukicheva is a bioinformatician and postdoctoral researcher with 13 years of experience bridging computer science and genomics, currently developing single-cell genomics software for gene-trait discovery at the VIB‑UGent Center for Plant Systems Biology. Her PhD combined de novo assembly of a large, highly repetitive beetle genome with machine-learning inference of introgression, demonstrating expertise in genome assembly, annotation, variant detection, and scalable NGS workflows on HPC. Comfortable across languages from C/C++ and C# to Python and R, she pairs low-level systems experience with practical scripting and MySQL-backed analysis pipelines. She has taught and supervised students at Université libre de Bruxelles and brings real-world product experience from safety-critical C#/.NET development in the rail domain. Outside the lab she composes and plays piano and violin and founded an animal protection association, showing leadership in project and people management beyond research.
