With Romina Palermo, Rhodes co-led the Person Perception programme of the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence in Cognition and its Disorders, which ceased work in 2018.[5][3]

Her work on whether women tell if a man is cheating from his appearance,[6][7] and the relationship between semen quality and voice depth, received international attention.[8][4]
