Dr Rose was formerly Chief Scientist at the Platform Sciences Laboratory, DSTO, following an appointment as Research Leader Fracture Mechanics (1990-2002). He has contributed seminal work on crack bridging which now forms the basis for the design of bonded repairs to aircraft structures (known as the Rose model). His theory of transformation toughening in partially stabilised zirconia provided new insights into the trade-off between strength and toughness in this new class of high-toughness ceramics, for which he has received international acclaim. He has also contributed a comprehensive analysis of laser-generated ultrasound that has become a standard reference in the emerging field of laser ultrasonics, as well as an elegant theoretical model for eddy-current detection of cracks in thin sheets, and a novel approach to detecting multiple, but individually small, cracks, both of which have been confirmed experimentally. In 1995, he initiated and led a comprehensive research program in support of the structural integrity management of the RAAF F-111 fleet to a planned withdrawal date of 2020, with Australia as the sole operator of this aircraft type in the world. Dr Rose is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (2002); Fellow of the Institution of Engineers, Australia (1994); Fellow of the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications, UK (1987). He was awarded the prestigious A.G. M. Michell Medal by the Institution of Engineers Australia in 2008, and the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Australian Fracture Group in 2013.
