Jessi Rick - I am a PhD candidate in the Wagner Lab and Program in Ecology at the University of Wyoming (albeit physically located in Germany)and a guest researcher at the Center for Advanced Systems Understanding in Görlitz, Germany. I am interested in questions at the interface of population genomics and phylogenomics, and am working with a couple different freshwater fish taxa for my dissertation. With this research, I use Teton/Linux/bash and R extensively, and have picked up a little Python. I also use Git, LaTeX, and markdown as a part of my research workflows, although I’m still learning how best to use all of these. I came to UW knowing nothing about HPCs and having used R and Linux very minimally, and am mostly self-taught other than Alex’s Computational Biology classes, an ARCC workshop here or there, and Data Science Working Group meetings.
