Biography

John Rogers is a Joint Professor of Materials Science and Engineering with a Courtesy Appointment in Chemistry at Northwestern University. He completed his Bachelor degrees in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin in 1989. He earned his Master’s and Ph.D. degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1992 and 1995, respectively. Rogers' research interests focus on soft materials and their electronic and photonic applications. He seeks to understand and exploit the unique characteristics of soft materials including polymers and biological tissues, often harnessing hybrid combinations with unusual inorganic micro- and nanomaterials. His work emphasizes the development of novel biomimetic approaches to patterning and growth that can lead to innovations in soft electronics, nanophotonic structures, and bio-integrated technologies. He has authored several key publications in top-tier journals and holds multiple prestigious lectureships and awards in recognition of his contributions to the field.
