Trosolwyg
Gyda gradd ôl-raddedig mewn Bioystadegau, dechreuais fy ngyrfa fel Swyddog Ymchwil Cyswllt yn Adran Bioystadegau Coleg Meddygol Cristnogol, Vellore, India. Ar hyn o bryd rwy'n cael fy nghyflogi fel Cynorthwyydd Ymchwil yn y Ganolfan Ymchwil Treialon (CTR) ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd, lle rwy'n gweithio ar astudiaethau ym maes iechyd meddwl, clefydau heintus a threialon canser. Rwyf wedi cydweithio ar nifer o brosiectau ymchwil ac wedi cyhoeddi bron i 20 o bapurau ymchwil.
Yn y CTR, rwy'n rhan o'r tîm Ystadegau ac ar hyn o bryd rwy'n cymryd rhan yn yr astudiaethau canlynol fel yr Ystadegydd Treial:
1. Arweiniodd treial rheoledig aml-ganolfan ar hap o raglen heneiddio gweithredol gwirfoddolwr cymheiriaid i atal dirywiad mewn swyddogaeth gorfforol ymhlith pobl hŷn sydd mewn perygl o anabledd symudedd:Treial ACE.
2. AML 18 Treial Canser (https://www.cardiff.ac.uk/centre-for-trials-research/research/studies-and-trials/view/aml18).
Astudiaethau wedi'u cwblhau:
1. Hapdreial rheoledig clwstwr aml-ganolfan i werthuso effeithiolrwydd a chost-effeithiolrwydd KiVa i leihau bwlio mewn ysgolion cynradd: The Stand Together.
2. Treial ar hap, a reolir gan placebo o azithromycin ar gyfer atal clefyd cronig yr ysgyfaint cyn-aeddfedrwydd mewn babanod cynamserol (https://www.cardiff.ac.uk/centre-for-trials-research/research/studies-and-trials/view/aztec).
Mae fy niddordebau ymchwil hefyd yn cynnwys Casgliad Bayesaidd, Dysgu Peiriant, a Dadansoddiad Meta. Adlewyrchir fy ymroddiad i fioystadegau yn fy nysgu a'm cyfraniadau parhaus i'r maes.
