Yevgeny Rogovsky was born in 1855, in Kobrin, Hrodna Province (now in the Brest Region), Belarus. He descended from hereditary gentry of Grodna Province. His father was a city doctor in Kobrin.
Yevgeny finished Bialystok Realschule (nowadays II Liceum Ogólnokształcące im. Anny z Sapiehów Jabłonowskiej w Białymstoku) in 1874. Two years later he entered St. Petersburg Technological Institute in Saint Petersburg, Russia. In 1877, he transferred to the mathematical section of Physics and Mathematics faculty of St. Petersburg University. He attended lectures by D. Mendeleyev, G. Chebyshev, F. Petrushevsky, I. Borgman, A. Hvolson. He graduated from the University in 1882 with a kandidat (Candidate of Sciences) degree.
Yevgeny defended his Master of Physics dissertation On External Heat Conductivity of Silver Wires in Water 1903.
Yevgeny Rogovsky started his academic career in 1882 as a teacher of mathematics and physics at Pokrovsky gymnasium for girls in St. Petersburg. At the same time, he was invited by St. Petersburg University for training to obtain a professor’s degree and worked there under the supervision of Prof. F. Petrushevsky.
From 1885 to 1904 Yevgeny was an assistant editor of the physics section of the journal Zhournal Rousskogo Fiziko-Khimicheskogo Obshchestva (Journal of Russian physics and chemistry society), as well as a contributor to Nature, Astron, Astronomische Nachrichten and others. His scientific works published in the journals were devoted to such problems as the structure of the Earth atmosphere, temperature, and composition of the Sun and planets atmospheres, solar radiation, kinetic theory of gases. He performed photometric observations.
For several years Ye. Rogovsky supervised students practical classes at the physical laboratory of St. Petersburg University. In 1887 Yevgeny was sent by the Russian Physics and Chemistry Society to the Podsolnechnaya station in the Moscow Region to take photometric measurements as a member of the committee for studies of the full solar eclipse of August 7, 1887.
During 1903 - 1904 Ye. Rogovsky delivered lectures on the kinetic theory of gases at St. Petersburg University as a privatdozent (a lecturer) and simultaneously worked at gymnasiums. He delivered public lectures on thermoelectricity, the Sun, and a public course of hydrostatics. In 1904 he was elected acting extraordinary professor of the chair of physics and meteorology at Kharkov University. He delivered lecture courses in meteorology and mechanical theory of heat, and, at the same time, a course in experimental physics at Kharkov Veterinary Institute.
Yevgeny Rogovsky was a life member of the Russian Physics and Chemistry Society, a full member of the Russian Astronomic Society in St.Petersburg, Russia, French Physical Society in Paris, France and of Kharkov Mathematics Society in Kharkov, Ukraine.
