Biography

Lock Rogers earned his PhD from the Ecology and Evolution group at the University of Kentucky in 1998 studying life-history evolution in sex-changing fishes. Before coming to Tech in the Fall of 2006, he did post-doctoral research on selection in Drosophila at the University of Toronto, and on reef-fish recruitment at the University of Florida. Between postdocs, he was visiting professor at Lewis and Clark College. At Tech, Dr. Rogers teaches ecology, ecology lab, evolution, mathematical models in biology and biological principles.
