Rwy'n Athro Cymdeithaseg, yn Gymrawd etholedig o Gymdeithas Ddysgedig Cymru, ac yn Gyd-gyfarwyddwr Ymchwil yn Ysgol y Gwyddorau Cymdeithasol. Gwasanaethais ar yr Uwch Dîm Rheoli yn yr Ysgol fel Cyfarwyddwr Rhyngwladol (2014-2017) cyn sefydlu'r Grŵp Ymchwil Ymfudo, Ethnigrwydd, Hil ac Amrywiaeth. Yn allanol, gwasanaethais ar fyrddau golygyddol y cyfnodolyn BSA Sociology and the ASA journal Sociology of Education, is-banel y Fframwaith Rhagoriaeth Ymchwil UKRI REF2021 Gwaith Cymdeithasol a Pholisi Cymdeithasol (SP20) fel aelod llawn o'r panel. Yn ogystal â bod yn aelod o Banel y Dyniaethau a'r Gwyddorau Cymdeithasol Cyngor Grantiau Ymchwil Hong Kong o dan Bwyllgor Grantiau'r Brifysgol (2022-2024), rwyf hefyd yn gwasanaethu ar Banel Comisiynu Cystadleuaeth Grant Canolfannau ESRC, a Bwrdd Cynghori Annibynnol y Ganolfan Genedlaethol ar gyfer Dulliau Ymchwil (NCRM). Rwy'n Olygydd y Cyfnodolyn Mynediad Agored Journal Frontiers of Sociology: Hil ac Ethnigrwydd.

Mae fy ymchwil yn mynd i'r afael â gwahanol fathau o anghydraddoldebau cymdeithasol mewn cymdeithasau cyfoes. Rwyf wedi cyhoeddi ar integreiddio ffoaduriaid, yr anghydraddoldebau newidiol mewn addysg uwch, cosbau ethnig a chrefyddol yn y farchnad lafur, rhieni unigol ar fudd-daliadau, dynameg hawlwyr, a phlant mewn gofal. Wedi'i hyfforddi fel cymdeithasegydd meintiol, wedi ymrwymo i amlddisgyblaethol a phlwraliaeth fethodolegol, rwy'n cydweithio ag ymchwilwyr ym maes polisi cymdeithasol, addysg, economeg, seicoleg a daearyddiaeth ddynol. Mae fy ymchwil wedi derbyn cyllid gan yr Academi Brydeinig, Cyngor Ymchwil Economaidd a Chymdeithasol, yr Undeb Ewropeaidd, Ymddiriedolaeth Leverhulme, Sefydliad Nuffield, Cymdeithas Japan ar gyfer Hyrwyddo Ymchwil Gwyddoniaeth, Iechyd a Gofal Cymru yn ogystal ag adrannau canolog y llywodraeth fel yr Adran Gwaith a Phensiynau, ac awdurdodau lleol. Dros y blynyddoedd rwyf wedi cynnal gwahoddedigion athrawon gwadd a swyddi ysgolheigion gwadd yn Wisconsin-Madison, UCLA, Prifysgol Stanford, Prifysgol Tokyo, Prifysgol Efrog Newydd a Phrifysgol Keio.

My current research continues to examine issues around migration and refugee integration, cross-national comparison of health services usage in superdiverse neighbourhoods (funded by NORFACE) human capital and labour market inequalities and outcomes of social work intervention among vulnerable families. Recently research projects include an innovative equal pay project using secondary data analysis to study women's pay penalty in Wales (WAVE: Women Adding Value to the Economy) funded by the European Social Fund; horizontal stratification in higher education (in collaboration with Prof T Gerber at University of Wisconsin-Madison); and two Nuffield Foundation funded research projects: Social Work Over Time investigating the effect of social work intervention using longitudinal data and cohort studies; Social Networks, Social Capital and Refugee integrations (with Prof J Phillimore, University of Birmingham)

Mae Sin Yi yn croesawu ceisiadau PhD ar bynciau sy'n ymwneud ag unrhyw feysydd o'i diddordebau ymchwil ar fudo, integreiddio ffoaduriaid, anghydraddoldebau ethnig a chrefyddol hiliol, yn ogystal â chymdeithaseg addysg ac anghydraddoldebau rhwng y farchnad lafur.

Rwy'n mwynhau dysgu cyrsiau ar lefel israddedig a meistr a goruchwylio myfyrwyr PhD hefyd. Mae'r modiwlau UG yr wyf yn eu cynnull / dysgu yn cynnwys Dadansoddi Data Eilaidd; Mudo 'hil' a chysylltiadau ethnig; Cydraddoldeb ac Amrywiaeth mewn Addysg a Gwaith.

Sin Yi was a Swire scholar at St Antony's College, Oxford, where she obtained her D.Phil. in sociology. During her doctoral study, she also worked as a research officer at the Social Disadvantage Research Centre, Department of Social Policy at Oxford University. Before becoming a full-time academic, she spent two years working in the Chief Executive Department at Oxford City Council where she led a team promoting the use of evidence-based research in policy decisions in local government. Sin Yi$acirc; s research addresses different forms of social inequalities, primarily in Britain but also in comparative perspectives. She has published on changing inequalities in higher education, ethnic disadvantage in the labour market, lone parents on benefits, claimants$acirc; dynamics, children in care, refugee integration and ethnic and racial inequalities. Over the years she has received numerous research funding from the British Academy, the Economic and Social Research Council, the Leverhulme Trust, the Nuffield Foundation, as well as central government departments (Department for Work and Pensions) and local authorities (Oxford City Council).

Internationally, Sin Yi has been invited to many universities as a visiting faculty including Wisconsin-Madison, UCLA, and Stanford University. In addition to regular invitations within the UK, she has given invited seminars in many universities abroad such as Aarhus University, Brno University, University of Illinois Chicago, Stanford University, ECOMER (The European Research Centre on Migration and Ethnic Relations, Utrecht University) and Lingnan University, Hong Kong. Sin Yi sits on many international funding panels and is a regular assessor and rapporteur for grant applications for Belgian Science Policy Office (BELSPO), European Science Foundation (European Collaborative Research Programme), and Hong Kong Research Grants Council.

Nationally, she also gets invited to give research evidence on ethnic inequalities in the labour market to government departments including the Social Exclusion Unit, the Cabinet Office and the Office for Deputy Prime Minister. She is currently a member of the ESRC$acirc; s Peer Review College. Before joining Cardiff, she taught sociology at Oxford Brookes University, and University of Birmingham where she was the Director of the MA in Social Research/doctoral training programme in the College of Social Sciences, prior to Birmingham gaining the Doctoral Training Centre status.
