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) that 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.  Vincent is a strong advocate of outreach and public engagement and can often be seen at Hawk-Eyes on Science and Hawk-Eyes in Space venues with colleague Dale Stille.
