Simon Rogers holds dual roles as the James W. Westwater Professor and Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His research focuses on rheology and the behavior of soft materials, including hydrogels, colloidal systems, and polymer networks. Key areas include thixotropy, yielding mechanisms, and structural memory under shear deformation. He has received prestigious awards such as the NSF CAREER Award (2019) and the Arthur B. Metzner Early Career Award (2022).

Recent work explores the structural and rheological memory of disordered soft materials, yielding behavior in hydrogels, and the interplay between microstructure and macroscopic material properties. His studies utilize advanced techniques like X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy and rheo-SANS to probe material dynamics.
