Jonas Wickman - IceLab

Profile

Research Engineer.

Spatial evolutionary modeling. Listens to jazz fusion while working.

Jonas Wickman is a Research Engineer in the Department of Ecology and Environmental Science, Umeå University.

Jonas has a bachelor’s degree in physics from Uppsala University and a master’s degree in physics from Umeå University. He was a PhD student in the Department of Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics, at Umeå University in 2013-2018 and successfully defended his thesis is February 2019. Jonas is interested in how evolution through natural selection unfolds in spatially varying environments, where selection acts on the traits, e.g., body size, of organisms in different directions at different points in space.

Jonas grew up in Stockholm, Sweden, and while not at work, he likes to read, listen to music, go on walks, and follow news and politics. His current favourite thing about Icelab is the brightness of the office space at the return of the spring sun.
