Trosolwg
Rwy'n ymchwilydd dulliau cymysg, ac ar hyn o bryd yn gweithio fel Cydymaith Ymchwil yng nghanolfan ymchwil DECIPHer.
Mae fy niddordebau ymchwil yn amrywiol ond yn cynnwys:
- Seicoleg Iechyd
- Iechyd menywod
- Iechyd y cyhoedd
- Ymddygiadau iechyd
- Newid ymddygiad
- Gwerthuso ymyrraeth
- Cyd-gynhyrchu a PPIE
Mae gen i brofiad helaeth o weithio gydag amrywiaeth eang o boblogaethau mewn ystod amrywiol o leoliadau.
Mae prosiectau cyfredol yn cynnwys:
- PHIRST Insight: Cynnal gwerthusiadau cyflym o ymyriadau iechyd cyhoeddus awdurdodau lleol
- Cymorth Iechyd Mislif Ysgol a Chanlyniadau Myfyrwyr: Astudiaeth Dichonoldeb Cysylltu Data Cenedlaethol
- PHW: Archwilio addasu'r Fenter Gyfeillgar i Fwydo ar y Fron i Gymru
Mae gen i radd israddedig mewn Seicoleg a gradd Meistr mewn Seicoleg Iechyd o Brifysgol Caerfaddon. Ariannwyd fy PhD gan y GW4 MRC Biomed DTP ac fe'i cynhaliwyd ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd. Roedd hyn yn cynnwys gweithio gyda'r garfan geni hydredol Tyfu yng Nghymru i ymchwilio i ddylanwad ymddygiadau iechyd mamau yn ystod beichiogrwydd ar iechyd a datblygiad mamau a babanod.
Byddwn yn awyddus i gydweithio ag unrhyw un sydd â diddordebau ymchwil tebyg.
Rwy'n agored i gyfleoedd goruchwylio.
