Biography
A graduate of Yale University, Dr. Rogalski received his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in 2002. Since leaving Michigan, he has been a C. L. E. Moore Instructor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. During 2002-2003, while on leave from MIT, he spent the year at the University of Washington.
At Michigan, Dr. Rogalski won a number of awards for his thesis research, including the Sumner Myers Award and the Wirt and Mary Cornwell Prize. He has also received a prestigious Clay Liftoff Fellowship (Summer 2002) and has been awarded a National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship (2002-2005). He also has a Masters degree in music performance.
Academic Interests and Research
Dr. Rogalski's research is in "noncommutative projective geometry", an area in the intersection of noncommutative ring theory and algebraic geometry. (This area represents a far-reaching generalization of the classical models of geometry which is motivated, in part, by quantum physics.) More specifically, his research is aimed at the important problem of classifying all noncommutative surfaces.
