Ryan Rogers earned his Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Kentucky in May 2024. His interests lie primarily in undergraduate mathematics education and especially in undergraduate students’ transfer of learning from calculus to analysis. As a graduate teaching assistant at UK, Ryan was a primary instructor for elementary calculus and its applications, as well as several math courses for preservice elementary and middle school teachers. He also led recitation sessions in various courses ranging from algebra and trigonometry for calculus to Calculus III.

Dr. Rogers joined the faculty of the University of Dayton as a lecturer in the Department of Mathematics in August 2024 and completed a fellowship year as a Blue ’24 MAA Project NExT Fellow in August 2025. Here at UD, he has taught courses in fundamentals of math, precalculus math, finite mathematics, and calculus for business. Outside of mathematics, he enjoys spending time with friends and family, listening to music, taking long walks, and riding roller coasters.
