Richard Rogers, Ph.D., ABPP

The Rogers research team at a year-end dinner in May, 2009.

The research team is a closely-knit group of dedicated doctoral students that work on collaborative projects as well as their own theses and dissertations. Our shared goal is scholarship. I am very proud of graduate students’ accomplishments.
