Rhagenwau: Ef / Ef; Gwrandewch ar fy enw
Rwy'n Uwch-ddarlithydd (Athro Cyswllt) mewn Peirianneg Sifil ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd ac yn Gymrawd Addysg Uwch (FHEA). Rwy'n Beiriannydd Siartredig (CEng), Gwyddonydd Siartredig (CSci) ac Amgylcheddwr Siartredig (CEnv), gyda ffocws ar ymchwil gymhwysol amlddisgyblaethol. Cefais brofiad yn y diwydiant modurol, ymgynghoriaeth peirianneg sifil a'r byd academaidd. Ers i mi ymuno â Phrifysgol Caerdydd, rwyf wedi bod yn gweithio ar ddatblygu deunyddiau seilwaith hunaniachau a biomimetig, a choncrid carbon isel. Cafodd ein prosiect diweddar WASTEREBUILT, ar ddefnyddio tywod ffowndri gwastraff mewn concrid, ei gynnwys ar restr fer Gwobrau Dyfodol Cynaliadwy 2024 (IOM3). Darllenwch fwy yma.
Rwy'n angerddol am #equality a #diversity, yn enwedig mewn STEMM, ac yn aelod o gymuned LGBTQ+. Fi yw'r Cyfarwyddwr Cydraddoldeb, Amrywiaeth a Chynhwysiant (EDI) yn yr Ysgol Peirianneg, Prifysgol Caerdydd.
#myinterests
Mae fy mhrif weithgarwch ymchwil yn gysylltiedig â'r Grŵp Ymchwil Strwythurau Adnewyddadwy a Deunyddiau COnstruction (RESCOM). Fy niddordebau yw nodweddu a gwydnwch deunyddiau adeiladu, gwyddoniaeth sment a choncrit, cemeg a chymwysiadau peirianneg. Mae gen i brofiad mewn dylunio arbrofi ar raddfa fainc a pheilot. Rwy'n defnyddio technegau dadansoddol ar gyfer astudiaethau nodweddu graddfa swmp a nano (XRD, SEM, TGA / DSC, Raman a NMR sbectrosgopeg, calorimetreg, techneg gwasgaru golau laser ar gyfer PSD, MIP). Mae gen i ddiddordeb hefyd mewn gwrthbwyso carbon ac asesiad cylch bywyd (LCA) o ddeunyddiau seilwaith arloesol ac atebion peirianneg.
Fi yw Cyfarwyddwr y DURALAB, y cyfleuster profi gwydnwch rhyngddisgyblaethol cyntaf yng Nghymru, "capsiwl amser", sy'n gallu efelychu cannoedd o flynyddoedd o heneiddio a dirywiad deunyddiau mewn mater o wythnosau.
Rwy'n aelod o Rwydwaith Ymchwil Deunyddiau Caerdydd, tîm rhyngddisgyblaethol o academyddion ar draws gwahanol Ysgolion sy'n canolbwyntio ar strwythur ac eiddo deunyddiau.
