Trosolwyg
Mae dŵr croyw yn hanfodol i fywyd, yr amgylchedd ac economïau, ond mae ei reolaeth gynaliadwy ledled y byd mewn perygl o newid byd-eang, galw cynyddol a rheolaeth annigonol. O ystyried cymhlethdodau'r broblem, mae diogelu dŵr croyw ar gyfer cenedlaethau'r dyfodol yn gofyn am ddull systemau cyfan sy'n dod â sawl sector at ei gilydd, ac yn integreiddio lensys disgyblaethol cyflenwol.
Mae fy niddordebau yn y mentrau rhyngddisgyblaethol hyn sy'n canolbwyntio ar ddŵr croyw fel lens integreiddio lle gallwn ddechrau mynd i'r afael â'r argyfyngau natur a hinsawdd.
Rolau
Cyfarwyddwr, Sefydliad Ymchwil Dŵr
Lansiwyd y Sefydliad Ymchwil Dŵr yn 2015 i fynd i'r afael â'r her fawr o reoli dŵr cynaliadwy i bobl ac ecosystemau mewn byd sy'n newid.
Ein cenhadaeth yw meithrin ymchwil rhyngddisgyblaethol sy'n arwain y byd a fydd yn cael effaith gref ac yn cael ei ddefnyddio fel tystiolaeth gan wneuthurwyr penderfyniadau. Rydym yn gwneud hyn trwy ddarparu amgylchedd creadigol lle mae ymchwilwyr o wahanol ddisgyblaethau yn cyd-ddylunio ac yn cyd-gyflwyno ymchwil gyda rhanddeiliaid a defnyddwyr terfynol i ddarparu dealltwriaeth integredig ac atebion i fynd i'r afael â heriau dŵr byd-eang.

Ymchwil
Ymchwil
Mae fy niddordebau ymchwil yn rhychwantu ystod eang o heriau amgylcheddol. O gefndir mewn agronomeg, mae gen i ddiddordeb arbennig mewn ymdrechion rhyng-ddisglinaidd ac yn defnyddio dŵr croyw fel lens integreiddio i fynd i'r afael â'r heriau hyn.
Mae'r ymchwil hon wedi cael ei ariannu dros y degawd diwethaf gan amrywiaeth o gyllidwyr (UKRI, yr UE, diwydiant, elusennau) a dros y 10 mlynedd diwethaf rwyf wedi bod yn rhan o ymdrechion ymchwil amgylcheddol sy'n dod i gyfanswm o dros £20m.
Bywgraffiad
Ar ôl gradd mewn Gwyddorau Naturiol a gradd Meistr mewn Peirianneg (Ingenieur Agronome, Agrotech Paris), gweithiais ym maes Ymchwil a Datblygu mewn cyd-destun diwydiannol (Danone Gwlad Belg). Yna dechreuais PhD mewn Ecoleg Tirwedd gan weithio yn yr Wcráin a Ffrainc, a datblygais fy ymchwil yn fwyfwy gan ddefnyddio ecosystemau dŵr croyw fel model yn ystod darlithydd 10 mlynedd yn Ffrainc.
Gyda chefnogaeth elusen Daphne Jackson, elusen a sefydlwyd i helpu menywod yn ôl i wyddoniaeth, cefais 3 cymrodoriaeth ymchwil annibynnol ar ôl seibiant fy ngyrfa, ac mae bellach yn dal Cadair mewn Gwyddorau Dŵr Integredig.
Yn ei dro, mae gen i gyfle i gyfrannu at fywyd academaidd a chyhoeddus, er enghraifft trwy ymwneud â:
