Her work integrates experimental and analytical methods to study animal energetics, kinematics, and respiratory physiology. Key contributions include advancing respirometry techniques for unrestrained animals and exploring how body shape and lifestyle influence movement costs. She has supervised postgraduate research on topics like hedgehog genetic relatedness and whale shark foraging behavior.
Dr. Rose teaches foundational biology and ecological data analysis modules, emphasizing hands-on practical skills. Her research spans biomechanical adaptations in reptiles and birds, including studies on alligator muscle architecture and the impact of path tortuosity on transport efficiency.
