Dr. Rodgers specializes in synchrotron radiation-based microtomography for biomedical applications. His work includes virtual histology of the brain at cellular resolution, 3D imaging of neurological disease models, and characterization of X-ray optics. At PSI, he develops dynamic phase-contrast microtomography for the VISION-EAR project, focusing on sound transmission in the human middle ear.

Research trends in his publications highlight expertise in high-resolution X-ray imaging, neurological disease modeling, and biomedical data analysis. His work spans mouse brain imaging, synchrotron optics, and personalized brain stimulation tools, with applications in epilepsy, kidney toxicity, and dental diagnostics.

Dr. Rodgers works in the X-Ray Tomography Group at PSI and previously in the Biomaterials Science Center at Basel, advancing terabyte-scale 4D imaging and registration/segmentation pipelines for detecting micromovements in biological systems.
