Michael "Bodhi" Rogers

I am currently the chair of the physics department at the University of Colorado Denver and the Zone Councilor for Zone 14. Along with being a physicist I am also a registered professional archaeologist. My most recent scholarly activity is using ground-based LiDAR to digitize castles in Ireland by taking positional readings every 5 mm. I also use instruments such as ground-penetrating radar, magnetometry, and earth resistance to "see" into the ground prior to archaeological excavations. I am also interested in preparing future middle and high school science teachers and understanding how students best learn physics. I earned my bachelors degree in physics from the State University of New York at Geneseo and my graduate degrees from Oregon State University. I was a professor for 16 years at Ithaca College in Ithaca, NY before moving to Denver fall 2019.
