Trosolwyg
Rwy'n bensaer trwy hyfforddiant ac ymarfer, ymchwilydd mewn rheoli dylunio treftadaeth ddiwylliannol, ac addysgwr hanes, theori a dylunio pensaernïol. Ymunais ag Ysgol Pensaernïaeth Cymru ym mis Ionawr 2019 fel Uwch Ddarlithydd mewn Hanes a Theori Pensaernïol, Dirprwy i Gadeirydd Blwyddyn MArch2, a minnau'n Gyfarwyddwr ein Rhaglenni Meistr mewn Pensaernïaeth.
Mae gen i Ddiploma mewn Dylunio a Pheirianneg Pensaernïol ac MSc mewn Dylunio Pensaernïol, Gofod a Diwylliant, o Brifysgol Dechnegol Genedlaethol Athen. Mae gen i hefyd radd doethuriaeth (PhD) mewn dylunio ymgysylltiad beirniadol â threftadaeth archaeolegol o Brifysgol Caeredin. Rwy'n aelod o'r Memory Studies Association, a'r Association of Critical Heritage Studies. Rwyf wedi cydweithio â sefydliadau diwylliannol amrywiol (Amgueddfeydd Cenedlaethol Cymru, AOC Archaeology-Group, Northlight-Heritage, Amgueddfa ac Oriel y Celfyddydau Kelvingrove, Amgueddfa Celfyddydau Asiaidd Corfu, ac ati) at ddibenion ymchwil ac ymgysylltu â'r cyhoedd.
Mae fy ymchwil yn rhyngddisgyblaethol ac yn dod â theorïau a dulliau o faes ieithyddiaeth wybyddol a gwybyddiaeth ddosbarthedig i astudiaethau dylunio a rheoli dylunio hanesion a threftadaeth ddadleuol. Mae gen i ddiddordeb hefyd mewn addysgeg a strategaethau Dylunio Cynhwysol sy'n cefnogi ac yn creu meddylfryd mwy cynhwysol mewn addysg bensaernïol.
