Logan Thomas

Postdoc

Logan is interested in how brain circuits enable complex computations and behavior. After earning dual degrees in Mathematics and Physics from Northeastern University in 2015, he worked as a software engineer developing audio signal processing algorithms, then as an engineer at the lab of Wei-Chung Allen Lee at Harvard Medical School, using connectomics to study cerebellar circuits. During his PhD at UC Berkeley in the Theunissen lab, he developed chronic recording methods and encoding models to study auditory processing in zebra finches, revealing how behavioral context shapes neural responses and how active categorization enhances neural precision in primary and secondary auditory areas. He joined the Gadagkar lab in 2025 to investigate the neural mechanisms of female mate choice and auditory evaluation in zebra finches.
