Cymrawd Ymchwil Marie Curie
Trosolwyg
Rwy'n gweithio ar ddiwylliant materol Bwdhaidd yn isgyfandir India sy'n dyddio o'r cyfnodau hynafol i'r canol oesoedd (tua 1 ganrif CC i'r 15fed ganrif OC). Fy mhrif ffocws dros y blynyddoedd diwethaf fu ar gynrychiolaeth weledol rhyw a defodau mewn celf Bwdhaeth, yn enwedig yng nghorff celf Gandhāran.
Fy mhrosiect ymchwil Marie-Curie ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd yw GRAVE: Defodau Gandharan Relic a Veneration Explored. Mae'r prosiect arloesol hwn yn ceisio dadansoddi'r deunydd gweledol o Gandhāra (Pacistan heddiw ac Affganistan rhwng y 1af a'r 4edd ganrif OC) yn ei gyd-destun cymdeithasol-grefyddol trwy ddadansoddi arysgrifau rhoddol crandhari a chyfrifon Tsieineaidd diweddarach o barchu creiriau yn y rhanbarth.
