Dr R Quinnell Rosanne is exploring the 'maths problem' as it applies to undergraduate science programs. She is interested in examining the efficient and effective use of new technologies in teaching and learning, and determining the relationship between degree program, curriculum engagement and rigidity of student approaches to learning. Rosanne's science research is focused on symbiotic systems primarily those sustained by photosynthesis e.g. cnidarian-Symbiodinium. Please contact the researcher
