Ymchwil
- Cerddoriaeth Fyw Fandom a chynulleidfaoedd: O fewn y maes ymchwil hwn rwyf wedi bod yn archwilio: a) defnyddio technoleg, cyfryngau cymdeithasol a chyfryngau digidol yn ystod cyngherddau byw gan gefnogwyr, b) diwylliant gwersylla gan gefnogwyr y tu allan i'r cyngherddau, a'r ystyr a'r effaith y gall hyn ei gael, c) etiquette cyngerdd byw gan gefnogwyr - gyda chynnydd aelodau'r gynulleidfa yn taflu gwrthrychau at gerddorion, a ch) y cysylltiadau rhwng cerddorion a chefnogwyr mewn cyngherddau byw. Rwyf wedi bod yn sylwebydd rheolaidd yn y cyfryngau am y pynciau hyn, yn cael fy nghyfweld a'm sylwadau mewn cwmnïau cyfryngau allweddol fel NBC News, BBC Radio 1 Newsbeat, BBC Jersey, BBC News Worldwide, The Guardian a llawer mwy yn rhyngwladol.
- Cerddoriaeth boblogaidd: Maes allweddol arall yn fy ymchwil yw cerddoriaeth boblogaidd a sut mae'n rhyngweithio â'r cyfryngau a diwylliant.

- Diwydiant cerddoriaeth: Mae fy ngwaith hefyd yn archwilio effeithiau ar elfennau allweddol o'r diwydiant cerddoriaeth. Rwy'n cydweithio'n llwyr ar brosiect sy'n canolbwyntio ar Patreon a'r profiadau byw a'r effaith ar gerddorion sy'n defnyddio'r platfform.
