Rosamund Davies has a background of professional practice in the film and television industries.

Current Research Projects
Co-investigator on Patina (Personal Architectonics Through INteractions with Artefacts), a multi-disciplinary project funded by EPSRC/AHRC, which aims to revolutionise the design of technologies for supporting research. The project is led by the University of Bristol in collaboration with the Universities of Brighton, Greenwich, Newcastle, Southampton and Swansea. These technologies will provide the means to capture, record, and replay the researcher's activities and support intuitive archiving, sharing and publication of interactions with research objects. The design of the technologies will draw on theoretical frameworks of space developed from studies of research spaces as diverse as libraries, museums, homes and archaeological fieldwork sites.
