Chris Rogers is an Associate Professor of Mathematics (with tenure) at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR), Department of Mathematics and Statistics, within the College of Science. His research bridges homotopy theory, algebra, and geometry, focusing on applications of homotopy-theoretic methods to abstract algebra, algebraic geometry, and mathematical physics (e.g., formal deformation quantization and topological field theory). His work is supported by the National Science Foundation grant DMS-2305407.
Education: Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of California, Riverside (advised by John Baez), followed by a postdoctoral research fellowship at the University of Göttingen, Germany. His research interests include homological algebra, homotopy algebras, Lie n-algebras, and their connections to geometric structures. Notable publications explore graph complexes, homotopy moment maps, and the integration of L∞-algebras into Lie ∞-groupoids.
Research trends reflect a focus on advancing foundational theories in algebraic topology and their applications to physics, with a recurring emphasis on higher structures and categorical frameworks. His grants and collaborations highlight interdisciplinary approaches to geometric and algebraic problems. No formal advisees are listed, but his NSF support suggests active research projects. His personal interests include bicycles, hiking, and the arts.
