Prof. Vincent Rodgers

Prof. Rodgers' current research is at the intersection of string theory and field theory with a focus on developing a gravitational theory (Thomas-Whitehead Gravity) which incorporates the symmetries of string theories in four-dimensional gravity and chiral interactions with fermionic matter. He directs the Diffeomorphisms and Geometry group, which has several undergraduate and graduate students.
