Overview

Roger J. Porter is affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania in the United States. Their research spans several interconnected fields, including psychology, agricultural and biological sciences, and social sciences. Within these domains, their work focuses on subfields such as education, social psychology, parasitology, ecology, evolution, behavior and systematics, and insect science.

Their recent scholarly output includes publications addressing topics that unite biology, education, and communication. The following papers exemplify this multidisciplinary focus:

  • GIS-ODE: linking dynamic population models with GIS to predict pathogen vector abundance across a country under climate change scenarios, 2024, Journal of The Royal Society Interface
  • Students being set up to make mistakes in class through an error-eliciting task, 2021, MSOR Connections
  • Lecturers don't know everything: students listening to the thought processes of lecturers on unfamiliar ground, 2024, Teaching Mathematics and its Applications An International Journal of the IMA

Porter frequently collaborates with other researchers. Co-authors include:

  • Alex Shukie
  • Adrian J Worton
  • Rachel Norman
  • Lucy Gilbert
  • Claire Cornock

They have published in several academic venues, notably:

  • Journal of The Royal Society Interface
  • MSOR Connections
  • Teaching Mathematics and its Applications An International Journal of the IMA

Their primary research topics cover a broad range of subjects related to both biological and educational sciences. These topics include:

  • Communication in Education and Healthcare
  • Vector-borne infectious diseases
  • Vector-Borne Animal Diseases
  • Insect and Pesticide Research
  • Innovative Teaching and Learning Methods
  • Online and Blended Learning
  • Education Practices and Challenges

This combination of topics reflects an interdisciplinary approach that integrates pathogen ecology with educational theory and practice. The work on vector-borne diseases intersects with ecological modeling and public health, while their education-related publications focus on teaching methods and communication dynamics in learning environments.
