Ymchwil
Prosiectau Ymchwil Cyfredol
Ymchwil a Gwerthuso CSconnected
Mae'r prosiect CSconnected yn integreiddio rhagoriaeth ymchwil â'r cadwyni cyflenwi rhanbarthol unigryw mewn gweithgynhyrchu lled-ddargludyddion uwch. Fel rhan o dîm WERU, mae Mark yn helpu i ddatblygu data economaidd i gefnogi canlyniadau cyffredinol y prosiect a chynorthwyo i'w gwerthuso.
Cyhoeddodd Llywodraeth y DU y don gyntaf o gyllid ar gyfer y prosiect CSconnected trwy Gronfa Cryfder mewn Lleoedd blaenllaw UK Research and Innovation. Mae'r prosiect mawr gwerth £43.74m, sy'n cynnwys clwstwr lled-ddargludyddion cyfansawdd De Cymru, wedi'i gymeradwyo ac mae'n cael ei gefnogi gan gyllid gwerth £25.44m gan Strength in Places.
Mae mwy o wybodaeth am y prosiect ar gael yma.
Cudd-wybodaeth Economaidd Cymru
Fel rhan o'r tîm yn WERU, mae Mark yn cefnogi Cudd-wybodaeth Economaidd Cymru i gasadu a dadansoddi data i greu mewnwelediad annibynnol, cadarn a dibynadwy. Mae'r mewnwelediad hwn yn helpu i ddeall a gwella economi Cymru yn well.
Mae Cudd-wybodaeth Economaidd Cymru yn bartneriaeth sy'n cynnwys WERU, Banc Datblygu Cymru, y Swyddfa Ystadegau Gwladol, Ysgol Busnes Bangor, a'r Ganolfan Ymchwil Menter. Mae dadansoddiadau ac adroddiadau diweddar ar gael yma.
Adroddiadau Prosiect Blaenorol
Cyn ymuno ag Ysgol Busnes Caerdydd, a thra'n gweithio fel ymchwilydd economaidd-gymdeithasol annibynnol, ysgrifennodd Mark ystod eang o adroddiadau prosiect yn ymwneud â'i ymchwil gymhwysol sy'n seiliedig ar gleientiaid. Dyma ddetholiad byr o'r adroddiadau prosiect hyn:
