Athro Gwybodeg Amgylchedd Adeiledig
Trosolwyg
Rwy'n athro mewn Gwybodeg Amgylchedd Adeiladu, mae gennyf PhD mewn Cyfrifiadureg ac rwyf wedi bod yn gweithio ym maes ymchwil yr amgylchedd adeiledig ers dros 10 mlynedd.
Rwy'n angerddol am gymhwyso technolegau cyfrifiadurol o'r radd flaenaf i ddarparu amgylchedd adeiledig mwy diogel, mwy effeithlon a mwy gwydn.
Mae fy ymchwil yn canolbwyntio ar arloesi ym maes yr amgylchedd adeiledig wedi'i danategu gan dechnolegau cyfrifiadura o'r radd flaenaf. Mae'r cyfuniad hwn o gefndir mewn Cyfrifiadureg, sylfaen gadarn ym maes yr amgylchedd adeiledig, ac arbenigedd mewn Modelu Gwybodaeth Adeiladu (BIM) a semanteg amgylchedd adeiledig, yn fy ngwneud mewn sefyllfa ddelfrydol i gynnal ymchwil tuag at greu amgylchedd adeiledig mwy deallus, effeithlon ac addasadwy.
Yn fwy penodol, mae fy niddordebau ymchwil yn cynnwys: (a) manyleb a gweithrediad storio data adeiladu/ardal / dinas, (b) Rhyngrwyd Pethau (IoT) a'i gymhwysiad i fonitro a rheoli'r amgylchedd adeiledig, (c) dadansoddeg data gan gynnwys dysgu peiriannau a deallusrwydd artiffisial, (d) cymhwyso cyfrifiadura cwmwl/dosbarthu i storio a phrosesu data ar gyfer cymwysiadau amgylchedd adeiledig ac (e) semanteg data o fewn yr amgylchedd adeiledig.
Rwyf hefyd yn ymwneud yn helaeth â datblygu'r Llwyfan Cynaliadwyedd Trefol Cyfrifiannu a fi yw'r arweinydd technegol ar gyfer y prosiect hwn.
Ar hyn o bryd rwy'n cynnal sawl prosiect ymchwil wedi'i ariannu yn y meysydd hyn, ac rwy'n weithgar ym maes cyhoeddi ( mae gen i dros 30 o bapurau academaidd mewn cyfnodolion a adolygir gan gymheiriaid) ac adolygu papurau. Rwyf hefyd ar gael ar gyfer goruchwyliaeth ymchwil ôl-raddedig - gweler Goruchwylio am fwy o wybodaeth.

Bywgraffiad
Enillais fy ngradd PhD mewn Cyfrifiadureg yn 2011. Rhwng 2011 a 2014 gweithiais ar amrywiaeth o brosiectau yn ymwneud â BIM fel cymrawd ymchwil ôl-ddoethurol. Rwyf wedi gweithio fel academydd ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd ers 2014.
Aelodaethau proffesiynol
Aelod o Gymdeithas Gyfrifiadurol Prydain
Cymrawd y Gymdeithas Addysg Uwch
Safleoedd academaidd blaenorol
Mae fy ngyrfa fel myfyriwr academaidd yn cynnwys:
2014->2018 - Darlithydd - Prifysgol Caerdydd
2018->2020 - Uwch Ddarlithydd - Prifysgol Caerdydd
2020->Presennol - Darllenydd - Prifysgol Caerdydd
Pwyllgorau ac adolygu
Fi oedd cadeirydd y pwyllgor trefnu ar gyfer cynhadledd PRO-VE 2018 ledled Ewrop. Roedd y gynhadledd yn denu, cyhoeddwyd 80+ o academyddion ag enw da rhyngwladol a thrafodion y gynhadledd fel llyfr gan Springer. Fy rôl i oedd cydlynu'r holl drefniadau lleol ar gyfer y gynhadledd yn ogystal â chynorthwyo cadeiryddion y rhaglen i lunio'r rhaglen wyddonol a chadeirio sesiwn trac arbennig o fewn y gynhadledd.
Rwyf hefyd yn gyd-gadeirydd cynhadledd IEEE ICE 2020/2021 a gynhaliwyd yn rhithiol yn 2020 ac a fydd yn cael ei chynnal yn gorfforol yng Nghaerdydd yn 2021. Fel rhan o'r digwyddiad hwn, yn ogystal â rheoli trefniadau lleol, rwy'n gyfrifol am ddyrannu adolygiad cymheiriaid, a gwneud penderfyniadau ar lunio'r rhaglen wyddonol. Mae cynhadledd ICE yn denu 120+ o academyddion a diwydianwyr o bob rhan o Ewrop a'r byd yn rheolaidd.
Rwyf hefyd yn adolygydd ar gyfer y cylchgronau rhyngwladol canlynol:
- Journal of Systemau Arbenigol gyda Cheisiadau
- Journal of Civil Engineering and Management
- Journal of Computing in Civil Engineering
- Journal of Hydroleg
- Journal of Future Generations of Computer Systems
- Awtomeiddio mewn Adeiladu
- Trafodion IEEE ar Systemau Cyfochrog a Dosbarthedig
- Egni
- Journal of Cloud Computing
- Semantic Web Journal
- Gwybodeg Peirianneg Uwch
- Dŵr
Rwy'n aelod o gydlyniaeth adolygiad cymheiriaid EPSRC ac rwyf ar Bwyllgor Rhaglen Cynhadledd Ryngwladol IEEE/ACM Rhyngwladol ar Gyfrifiadura, Cymwysiadau a Thechnolegau Data Mawr
Meysydd goruchwyliaeth
Rwy'n ddiddorol wrth oruchwylio PhDs sy'n cynnwys y meysydd canlynol:
- Cymhwyso optimeiddio, dysgu peirianyddol, ac AI yn yr amgylchedd adeiledig.
- Defnyddio achosion ar gyfer data asedau strwythuredig (BIM)
- Awtomeiddio asesiadau rheoleiddio/cynaliadwyedd yn yr amgylchedd adeiledig
- Cymhwyso leger dosbarthu (blockchain) ar gyfer contractio / integriti ceisiadau yn yr amgylchedd adeiledig
- Semanteg yn yr Amgylchedd Adeiledig
- Cymhwyso technolegau ac offer BIM o fewn amgylchedd BIM.
Hyd yn oed os nad yw'ch syniad wedi'i alinio'n flaenorol â'r meysydd hyn - cysylltwch â ni - gall fod yn rhywbeth y gallaf ei oruchwylio o hyd (neu gyd-oruchwylio gyda chydweithiwr).
