Darlithydd mewn Peirianneg Sifil

Trosolwyg
Rwyf wedi bod yn ddarlithydd yn yr adran Architectural, Civil and Environmental Engineering Dyn Ysgol Peirianneg Prifysgol Caerdydd ers mis Ionawr 2023. Graddiais fel y myfyriwr gorau o Brifysgol Dechnegol Peirianneg Sifil Bucharest yn 2008 ac yna ymgymryd â Gradd Meistr mewn Peirianneg Strwythurol yn yr un sefydliad. Yn 2010 dechreuais fy astudiaethau doethurol ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd ar ddatblygu model rhifiadol thermo-hygro-gemegol cypledig ar gyfer efelychu hunan-iachau hunan-genhedlu mewn deunyddiau smentilon.
Ar ôl amddiffyn fy nhraethawd PhD yn llwyddiannus yn 2015, gweithiais fel ymchwilydd ôl-ddoethurol yn EMPA, y Swistir yn y prosiect ymchwil rhyngddisgyblaethol THRIVE yn canolbwyntio ar ddatblygu pympiau gwres arsugniad sy'n cael eu gyrru'n thermol ar gyfer amnewid trydan a thanwydd ffosil. Roedd fy nghyfraniad yn y prosiect yn cynnwys modelu optimeiddio ar gyfer cyfraddau trafnidiaeth uchel mewn cyfnewidwyr gwres adsorber.
Rhwng 2016 a 2022, rwyf wedi gweithio fel Darlithydd ym Mhrifysgol Dechnegol Peirianneg Sifil Bucharest gyda dyletswyddau addysgu yn canolbwyntio ar fecaneg deunyddiau a dull elfen gyfyngedig. Yn ystod y cyfnod hwn symudodd fy niddordebau ymchwil tuag at asesu difrod oherwydd digwyddiadau gwynt eithafol.

Addysgu
Ar hyn o bryd rwy'n Diwtor Blwyddyn 4 ACE ac rwy'n cyfrannu at nifer o fodiwlau sy'n ymwneud â dylunio strwythurol a deunyddiau adeiladu ym mlwyddyn 2 mewn Dadansoddi a Dylunio Strwythurol, a modiwlau Dichonoldeb Dylunio blwyddyn 4.
Yn modiwl blwyddyn 2 Dadansoddi a Dylunio Strwythurol rwy'n cyflwyno darlithoedd ar golli sefydlogrwydd y strwythurau dur ac rwy'n cynnal sesiynau Labordy Concrit lle cynhelir profion ar bast ffres a chaled.
Ym mlwyddyn 4 modiwl Design Feasibility rwy'n trefnu ac yn arwain y Cwrs Maes i Lundain. O fewn y modiwl hwn mae myfyrwyr yn dysgu am yr egwyddorion dichonoldeb mewn prosiectau peirianneg sifil trwy gyfrwng tasgau disgrifiadol a chyfrifiannol sy'n canolbwyntio ar ymchwilio i'r atebion strwythurol a fabwysiadwyd ar gyfer gwahanol fathau o bontydd, strwythurau to ac adeiladau gofal iechyd.
Rwyf hefyd yn goruchwylio prosiectau unigol ac ymchwil ar lefelau israddedig ac ôl-raddedig.
