Logan Gaudet

Hello! I am a PhD candidate at both Sorbonne University (ED3C) and the University of Groningen (Graduate School for the Humanities), supervised by Prof. Emmanuel Mandonnet and prof. dr. Roel Jonkers, with Dr. Adrià Rofes as my daily advisor.

After a Canadian BSc focused on neuroscience, genetics, and world languages, I worked at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, and then spent several years as a language educator in South Korea. To combine my interests in neuroscience, research, and language, I completed a master’s in Clinical Linguistics at both the University of Eastern Finland and the University of Groningen, during which my thesis first brought me to the FrontLab. 

My doctoral research examines the nature of semantic networks and the neural correlates of verbal fluency in low-grade glioma. I use computational analyses of verbal fluency responses and relatedness-based semantic networks to illuminate the neural basis of language and lexico-semantic memory, and to detect subtle deficits that traditional clinical assessments may miss.
