Following the completion his PhD degree in Physics from MIT in 1991, Professor Rogers went on to
research positions at MIT under a DOE Postdoctoral Fellowship Award and the University of Maryland,
College Park. He joined the Dartmouth faculty in the fall of 2001. His research field is theoretical
and computational plasma physics and his ongoing work addresses a range of topics in astrophysical and
laboratory plasmas, including magnetic reconnection, plasma turbulence, and magnetically confined
fusion. Professor Rogers's research group is supported at the national level by research grants from
NSF, DOE, and NASA. He is the Dartmouth Principal Investigator for the Center for Integrated
Computation and Analysis of Reconnection and Turbulence (CICART), a collaboration between Dartmouth
and the University of New Hampshire, as well as a co-investigator for the DOE Center for Multiscale
Plasma Dynamics, the NSF Center for Integrated Space Weather Modeling, and NASA's Sun-Earth Connection
Theory program. |
Welcome to the Department of Physics & Astronomy! From the Chairman,
We in Physics and Astronomy are committed to the goal of combining the excitement of a research university with the sense of community
one finds at a small college. By focusing on a few core areas - astronomy and cosmology, quantum and condensed matter physics, plasma
and space physics - we provide a selection of independent research opportunities as well as an array of specialized courses and
research seminars in addition to the core courses. We place a high priority on teaching and mentorship at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
Whether you wish to pursue a career in Physics/Astronomy, or study it enroute to a career elsewhere, we think you will find a
welcoming environment here.
