Trosolwg
Rwy'n Gymrawd Ymchwil yn y Ganolfan Gofal Cymdeithasol a Deallusrwydd Artiffisial a Dysgu (SCALE) a'r Ganolfan Ymchwil a Datblygu Gofal Cymdeithasol Plant (CASCADE). Mae gen i brofiad sylweddol o ddefnyddio dulliau cymysg i werthuso ymyriadau diogelu mewn ystod eang o leoliadau gan gynnwys ysgolion, gofal brys, a throseddau ieuenctid.
Mae fy ffocws ymchwil presennol yn cynnwys:
- Dysgu peiriannau, golwg gyfrifiadurol a dehongli anafiadau i helpu i lywio prosesau amddiffyn plant
- AI i gefnogi gweithio aml-asiantaeth a mynediad at dystiolaeth
- Dulliau ar gyfer sicrhau defnydd moesegol, cyfrifol o AI mewn gofal cymdeithasol plant
