Trosolwyg
Rwy'n ymchwilydd rhyngddisgyblaethol sydd â diddordeb mewn canlyniadau iechyd, lles ac addysg plant a phobl ifanc. Gan fabwysiadu ystod o ddulliau ansoddol a meintiol, rwy'n gweithio ar draws prosiectau sy'n cwmpasu gwerthuso polisi ac epidemioleg.
Rwyf wedi gweithio ar amrywiaeth o brosiectau ymchwil a ariennir yn allanol ers cwblhau fy astudiaethau doethurol yn 2013, ac mae'r ffynonellau cyllid yn cynnwys ESRC, HCRW, NIHR, Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru, a Llywodraeth Cymru, yn ogystal â gwobrau bach gan gwmni sector preifat ac eraill o Gomisiynydd Heddlu a Throsedd De Cymru.
Dros amser, rwyf wedi cynyddu capasiti o gyd-ymchwilydd i'r prif ymchwilydd. Rwy'n gyd-ymchwilydd ar grantiau gwerth tua £1.7 miliwn, ac rydw i'n brif ymchwilydd gwerth tua £600,000. Ar unwaith, un o'm prif brosiectau dros y blynyddoedd diwethaf bûm yn Brif Ymchwilydd ar gymrodoriaeth Ymchwil Iechyd a Gofal Cymru llawn amser (£315,999), a fabwysiadodd gynllun dulliau cymysg i archwilio nodau, amcanion a gweithrediad diwygio ysgolion ledled Cymru.
Yn ddiweddar, rwyf hefyd wedi cwblhau tymor fel prif ymchwilydd ar astudiaeth cysylltu data ledled Cymru a ariannwyd gan y Cyngor Ymchwil Economaidd a Chymdeithasol (£192,230) a archwiliodd y cysylltiad rhwng profiadau niweidiol yn ystod plentyndod a chanlyniadau iechyd ac addysg, a rôl gyfryngu gofal awdurdodau lleol ac ymyrraeth gwasanaethau cymdeithasol. Mae gen i gefndir mewn seicoleg ac iechyd y cyhoedd, ac mae fy niddordebau methodolegol yn cynnwys, ond heb fod yn gyfyngedig i, ddulliau ansoddol, arolygon a gwerthuso polisi.
