Dr. Sladjana Lukic

Dr. Sladjana Lukic is a language neuroscientist with multidisciplinary expertise in formal linguistics, stroke and primary progressive aphasias, and neuroimaging. She is an Assistant Professor in the School of Communication Science and Disorders at FSU and Director of NoLaB Lab, where her work focuses on disentangling linguistic (dis)abilities in people with aphasia and uncovering their underlying neuroanatomical correlates using both structured language tests and naturalistic speech measures. Her research also explores linguistic processes in the context of degeneration and development, from which she has developed her new line of work investigating how language shapes behavior. She received her PhD and MA from Northwestern University under the supervision of Dr. Cynthia Thompson and completed postdoctoral training in Cognitive Neuroscience at the UCSF Memory and Aging Center under the supervision of Dr. Maria Gorno-Tempini.
