Ymchwil
Dyfarnwyd PhD i Rob yn y Gyfraith ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd yn 2017. Roedd ei draethawd ymchwil, The Hybrid System: Imprisonment and Devolution in Wales, yn siartio ymddangosiad Cymru fel gofod troseddol penodol o fewn system Cymru a Lloegr a Lloegr a oedd unwaith yn 'unffurf'. Ar ôl mapio'r trefniadau tiriogaethol gwahanol sy'n nodweddu gweithrediad y system garchardai yng Nghymru ar ôl datganoli, tynnodd ymchwil Rob sylw at y cymhlethdodau a'r anawsterau ymarferol sy'n codi oherwydd yr 'ymyl jagged ' rhwng swyddogaethau cyfiawnder nad ydynt wedi'u datganoli a meysydd eraill (datganoledig) o bolisi cymdeithasol.
Ers cwblhau ei PhD yn 2017, mae Rob wedi cyhoeddi nifer o allbynnau gan gynnwys cyhoeddiadau academaidd yn ogystal â chyfres o 'ffeiliau ffeithiau' ymchwil gyda'r nod o ddatblygu dealltwriaeth fwy manwl, feirniadol ac awdurdodol o system cyfiawnder troseddol Cymru. Yn 2022, cyhoeddwyd The Welsh Criminal Justice System: On the Jagged Edge gan Wasg Prifysgol Cymru. Cafodd y llyfr ei gyd-ysgrifennu ochr yn ochr â'r Athro Richard Wyn Jones ac mae'n darparu'r adroddiad academaidd cyntaf o System Cyfiawnder Troseddol Cymru.
Addysgu
Ar hyn o bryd mae Rob yn dysgu ar Gymdeithaseg y Gyfraith; Camweinyddiadau Cyfiawnder: Prosiect Dieuog Caerdydd; troseddu, cyfraith a chymdeithas.
