Trosolwyg
Ymunais â'r Adran Economeg mewn CARBS ym mis Hydref 2014, ar ôl i mi gynnal apwyntiadau parhaol ym Mhrifysgolion Caerfaddon ac Abertawe.
Mae fy meysydd ymchwil yn cynnwys disgwyliadau a rhagolygon macro-economeg ac effaith polisi ariannol ac ansicrwydd cyfanredol, dysgu a rhesymoldeb cyfyng. Rwyf hefyd yn ymchwilio ac yn cyhoeddi'n eang ym maes economi wleidyddol. Canolbwyntio ar ryngweithio sefydliadau economaidd a gwleidyddol a'i effaith ar ddosbarthu incwm a datblygu economïau a phleidleisio economaidd. Rwyf wedi ac yn parhau i oruchwylio myfyrwyr PhD mewn macroeconomeg ac economi wleidyddol.
Ar hyn o bryd rwy'n aelod o'r Gymdeithas Economaidd Frenhinol ac yn gyn-aelod o Gymdeithas Economaidd America a'r Gymdeithas Econometrig. Ar hyn o bryd rwy'n Athro Gwadd yn yr Adran Economeg, Prifysgol Bologna, yr Eidal.
Derbyniais fy PhD o Brifysgol Caerlŷr 1998.
