Dr. Rogers received his degrees in Bioengineering from the University of California, San Diego. After working for several years as a computational scientist at the San Diego Supercomputer Center, he joined UAB in 1994. His research interests center on cardiac electrophysiology (the system that triggers and synchronizes each heart beat) and electromechanics (the interaction between the heart’s electrical system and its function as a muscle). He works in similar themes in the gastrointestinal system. Toward these ends, his laboratory develops new instruments and software for recording, analyzing, and understanding electromechanical function.

Dr. Rogers teaches courses in scientific computing and cardiac electrophysiology. He recently served as the director of the Biomedical Engineering Department’s undergraduate program. He is also a certified sailing instructor and teaches sailing to children and adults.
