Crynodeb o'r ymchwil
Mae fy ymchwil yn canolbwyntio ar niwroamrywiaeth ac iechyd meddwl plant a phobl ifanc—yn enwedig ADHD, awtistiaeth, problemau ymddygiad, ac anawsterau emosiynol sy'n cyd-ddigwydd—trwy archwilio sut mae mecanweithiau gwybyddol, geneteg, a ffactorau datblygiadol cynnar yn siapio canlyniadau ar draws datblygiad gan ddefnyddio setiau data gweinyddol ac epidemiolegol mawr. Trwy integreiddio data clinigol, defnydd gwasanaethau, a lefel poblogaeth ac ymgorffori cyd-gynhyrchu gyda phobl â phrofiad byw, mae fy ngwaith yn sicrhau trylwyredd gwyddonol a pherthnasedd yn y byd go iawn.
Crynodeb addysgu
Rwy'n Gyfarwyddwr yr MSc mewn Cyflyrau Seicolegol Plant (https://www.cardiff.ac.uk/study/postgraduate/taught/courses/course/childrens-psychological-conditions-msc) ac yn addysgu ar draws cyrsiau Israddedig ac Ôl-raddedig yn yr Ysgol Seicoleg.

Ymchwil
Pynciau ymchwil
Mae fy ymchwil yn canolbwyntio ar niwroamrywiaeth a niwroamrywiaeth yn ogystal ag iechyd meddwl plant a phobl ifanc, gyda phwyslais ar ADHD, awtistiaeth, problemau ymddygiad, ac anawsterau emosiynol sy'n cyd-ddigwydd gan ddefnyddio dulliau dimensiwn a thraws-ddiagnostig yn ogystal â diffiniadau clinigol. Mae gen i ddiddordeb yng nghwrs datblygiadol ADHD a sut mae cyflwyniad yn newid gydag oedran, effeithiau unigol a chymdeithasol a manteision ymddygiadau ADHD parhaus a ffactorau sy'n dylanwadu ar barhad o'r fath.
Mae fy ngwaith yn archwilio'r rhyngweithio rhwng mecanweithiau gwybyddol, geneteg a ffactorau datblygiadol cynnar wrth lunio datblygiad a chanlyniadau diweddarach, gan ddefnyddio setiau data gweinyddol ac epidemiolegol mawr i adeiladu carfanau lefel poblogaeth ar gyfer ymchwil ac i integreiddio data clinigol, defnydd gwasanaeth a datblygiadol.
Trwy gydol fy ngwaith, mae cyd-gynhyrchu a chynhwysiant pobl â phrofiad byw yn sicrhau bod yr ymchwil wedi'i seilio ar realiti, blaenoriaethau ac anghenion y rhai y mae'n anelu at elwa.

Rwy'n Gyfarwyddwr yr MSc mewn Cyflyrau Seicolegol Plant, gan gymryd yr awenau ar elfennau strategol a dyddiol y cwrs. Rwyf hefyd yn addysgu ar y Dulliau Asesu Plant 1 (PST708), Cyflyrau Niwroddatblygiadol 1: Niwrobioleg, yr wyf yn gydlynydd modiwl ac yn cydlynu'r modiwl Traethawd hir. Rwyf hefyd yn goruchwylio nifer o brosiectau traethawd hir.
Rwyf hefyd yn cydlynu ac yn addysgu ar y modiwl MSc Iechyd Meddwl (Trosi) ar Niwroamrywiaeth a Niwroamrywioldeb a'r modiwl blwyddyn olaf UG ar bwnc tebyg.

Cyflogaeth
Ar ôl fy ngradd israddedig ym Mhrifysgol Durham, dechreuais weithio fel Seicolegydd Ymchwil (2001-2003) gyda'r Athro Anita Thapar yng Ngholeg Meddygaeth Prifysgol Cymru (Ysgol Feddygaeth Prifysgol Caerdydd bellach) ar brosiect a ariennir gan Ymddiriedolaeth Wellcome sy'n ymchwilio i enynnau sensitifrwydd ar gyfer Anhwylder Diffyg Sylw a Gorfywiogrwydd (ADHD). Fe wnaeth y prosiect danio fy niddordeb mewn iechyd meddwl a deall y ffactorau risg genetig ac amgylcheddol sy'n gysylltiedig ag anhwylderau o'r fath.
Arweiniodd hyn at mi ddechrau ar PhD, dan oruchwyliaeth yr Athro Thapar a'r Athro Peter Holmans, gan ymchwilio i sut mae ffactorau risg genetig ac amgylcheddol ar gyfer ADHD yn dylanwadu ar gyflwyniad clinigol yr anhwylder a'r rhyngweithiadau rhwng y ffactorau hyn. Ymestynnwyd fy ngwaith trwy Wobr Cymrodoriaeth VIP Wellcome Trust (2005-2006).
Wrth barhau i weithio ym maes ffactorau risg genetig a ffactorau risg eraill ar gyfer ADHD a phroblemau iechyd meddwl eraill yn ystod plentyndod, yn ystod fy swydd ôl-ddoethurol yn yr Ysgol Feddygaeth (2006-2011), Prifysgol Caerdydd , dechreuais ddiddordeb mewn defnyddio dyluniadau arbrofol naturiol i ymchwilio i lwybrau achosol rhwng ffactorau risg genetig, gwybyddol a chymdeithasol a phroblemau ymddygiad plentyndod.
Ar ôl gweithio gyda'r Athro Nick Craddock fel rhan o'r tîm i sefydlu'r Ganolfan Genedlaethol ar gyfer Iechyd Meddwl (NCMH), y Ganolfan Ymchwil Biofeddygol gyntaf yng Nghymru (2012-2013), cymerais swydd darlithydd yn yr Ysgol Seicoleg, Prifysgol Caerdydd, ym mis Awst 2013 a chefais fy nyrchafiad yn Uwch Ddarlithydd yn 2017 a Darllenydd yn 2021.
