Research interests In 2011 Rose completed her doctoral research into experimental stereography, looking at the possibilities inherent in technologies of visualisation such as stereoscopic 3D and so-called ‘virtual reality’ systems. This research used ideas
from phenomenology, philosophies of the visual image, and vision science to explore the thresholds of visual perception and the experience of real and virtual spaces.

Post-doctoral research plans include a short film/animation production ('Mutlak'), developing curricula for stereoscopic imaging systems, and research into the role and value of observational drawing in animation pedagogy.
Service to the University,
discipline or community  		 Rose initiated an Animation tudy tour to Japan which ran its first tour in November 2010. The Japan study tour program continues to develop - with the addition of a games & animation focus from 2012.
