Charles Rogers

Charles Rogers is a Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Colorado Boulder. His research focuses on experimental condensed matter physics, particularly nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS), GaN nanowires, molecular rotors, and thin film characterization.

• Current research includes GaN nanowire resonators for mass sensors and clocks
• Collaborates with NIST (Kris Bertness/Norm Sanford) and Prof. Josef Michl (University of Colorado/Prague)
• Develops nanoscale fabrication techniques (photolithography, electron-beam lithography)

Scientific Awards:

• Boulder Faculty Assembly Excellence in Teaching and Pedagogy Award (2015-2016)
• Fellow, Materials Science and Engineering Program (2012-present)
• Fellow, Renewable and Sustainable Energy Institute (2011-present)

Research Trends: His articles reveal expertise in nanomechanical systems, molecular electronics, and optoelectronic properties of thin films and nanostructures. Key subfields include NEMS, GaN nanowires, molecular rotors, atomic layer deposition, and superconducting thin films.
