Biography:

Dr. Cogger is a Professor in Animal and Veterinary Sciences at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. After receiving his Ph.D. at Michigan State University, he trained as a postdoctoral fellow in Avian Endocrinology at the University of Minnesota under Dr. William H. Burke from 1974-76. Since that time he has been on the faculty at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona where he has taught a variety of courses in poultry science, physiology, data management and analysis and computer applications. Recently, his research interests have changed from poultry physiology to equine physiology and locomotion which he pursues with Drs. Wickler and Hoyt in the Equine Research Center.

 

Teaching Area/Expertise:

Poultry science: avian physiology, avian healthcare management, general poultry husbandry and management.
Physiology: general, fluid balance, endocrinology.
Data management and analysis: statistics (general, exploratory data analysis and inferential statistics), database and spreadsheet use, graphical display of quantitative information, scientific data presentation.
Computer application to problem solving in animal science.

 

Research Areas/Expertise:

Dr. Cogger's current research interests are primarily in the area of equine physiology as it pertains to high altitude, fluid balance, exercise and locomotion. His additional expertise in research design, data management and analysis and computer programming (LabVIEW®) make him an integral part of the research team at the Equine Research Center.
