Trosolwg
Rwy'n fyfyriwr PhD blwyddyn gyntaf dan oruchwyliaeth yr Athro Stephen Fairhurst a Dr Fabio Antonini. Mae fy ngwaith yn canolbwyntio'n bennaf ar amcangyfrif paramedr o uno tyllau du deuaidd ecsentrig trwy ddadelfennu signalau tonnau disgyrchiant ecsentrig yn harmoneg ecsentrig. Gallwn ddefnyddio'r rhain i gael gwell dealltwriaeth gorfforol o ecsentricity, darparu amcangyfrifon cyflym o'r ecsentrigrwydd mewn system, a chwilota'r dirywiant rhwng ecsentryddiaeth a dirwasgiad.

Ymchwil
Diddordebau: tonnau disgyrchol, ecsentricity, amcangyfrif paramedr, tyllau du deuaidd, perthnasedd cyffredinol, dadansoddiad Bayesaidd.
Mae fy ngwaith yn canolbwyntio'n bennaf ar amcangyfrif paramedr o uno tyllau du deuaidd ecsentrig trwy ddadelfennu signalau tonnau disgyrchiant ecsentrig yn harmoneg ecsentrig. Gallwn ddefnyddio'r rhain i gael gwell dealltwriaeth gorfforol o ecsentricity, darparu amcangyfrifon cyflym o'r ecsentrigrwydd mewn system, a chwilota'r dirywiant rhwng ecsentryddiaeth a dirwasgiad.
