Trosolwg
Mae Chenfei yn Gydymaith Ymchwil yn y CLCEB (Canolfan Amgylchedd Adeiledig Carbon Isel). Mae hi'n gweithio ar brosiect ymchwil sy'n archwilio datgarboneiddio asedau tai cymdeithasol yng Nghymru. Mae Chenfei yn gweithio'n agos gyda'r sector tai cymdeithasol yng Nghymru i wella dealltwriaeth o'r heriau o ddatgarboneiddio tai cymdeithasol a hyrwyddo defnyddio strategaethau cynaliadwy priodol ac effeithlon sy'n cefnogi cartrefi diogel, cynnes a fforddiadwy i breswylwyr.
Mae gan Chenfei PhD mewn Pensaernïaeth Gynaliadwy o Brifysgol Lerpwl, lle canolbwyntiodd ei hymchwil ar strategaethau ôl-ffitio Passivhaus EnerPHit gydag ynni cylch bywyd, gwerthuso carbon a chost. Datblygodd ei MSc mewn Dylunio Amgylcheddol Cynaliadwy mewn Pensaernïaeth ei harbenigedd mewn ffiseg adeiladu, efelychiad amgylcheddol, ac atebion carbon isel. Cafodd ei hyfforddi mewn dylunio pensaernïol yn ystod ei hastudiaethau israddedig yn Tsieina, lle datblygodd sylfaen gref mewn egwyddorion dylunio creadigol, gan ennill y wobr nodedig am y Dylunio Gofod Masnachol Gorau yng Nghystadleuaeth Dylunio Mewnol Tsieina 2015.
Cyn ymuno ag Ysgol Pensaernïaeth Cymru, bu Chenfei yn gweithio fel Ymchwilydd Ôl-ddoethurol ym Mhrifysgol Oxford Brookes, lle bu'n archwilio trawsnewidiadau carbon isel mewn adeiladau preswyl ar raddfa fawr a datblygu offeryn cynllunio ynni ar-lein i asesu addasrwydd defnyddio pwmp gwres. Ym Mhrifysgol Lerpwl, bu'n gwasanaethu fel cynorthwyydd ymchwil ar brosiectau sy'n mynd i'r afael â'r heriau o ôl-osod anheddau yn y DU ac adeiladau treftadaeth Ghanaidd. Yn ogystal, bu'n gweithio fel cynorthwyydd addysgu yn yr un brifysgol, gan gyflwyno pedwar semester o addysgu a thiwtora i fyfyrwyr meistr.
