Timau a rolau for Alexandra Sandu
Darlithydd mewn Daearyddiaeth Ddynol
Trosolwyg
Mae Alexandra yn Ddarlithydd mewn Daearyddiaeth Ddynol. Mae ei gwaith presennol yn canolbwyntio ar Wydnwch Trefol a Rhanbarthol, patrymau a dynameg defnydd tir mewn dinasoedd ôl-sosialaidd o Ganolbarth a Dwyrain Ewrop ac anghydraddoldebau economaidd-gymdeithasol ar draws dinasoedd a rhanbarthau o Ewrop.
Mae diddordebau ymchwil Alexandra yn ymestyn y tu hwnt i fethodoleg ymchwil feintiol ac yn cynnwys arbenigedd mewn Daearyddiaeth Ddynol, Daearyddiaeth Drefol, Daearyddiaeth Amgylcheddol, Gwydnwch Trefol, Dadansoddi Gofodol, Anghydraddoldebau Trefol a GIS. Mae ei phrofiad blaenorol yn cynnwys gweithio fel Cynorthwy-ydd Ymchwil yn Ymchwil Data Gweinyddol Cymru lle bu'n edrych ar anghydraddoldebau addysgol yng Nghymru. Roedd hi hefyd yn Gydymaith Ymchwil ym Mhrifysgol Lyon, lle cyfrannodd at brosiect ymchwil ar effaith globaleiddio ar lifoedd diwylliannol. Yn ogystal, bu'n gweithio fel Cymrawd Addysgu ym Mhrifysgol Alexandru Ioan Cuza Iasi, lle bu'n darparu cyrsiau a seminarau mewn Daearyddiaeth Ddynol, Cartograffeg a Geomateg, Daearyddiaeth Amgylcheddol, a GIS.
Mae cymwysterau academaidd Alexandra hefyd yn cynnwys Ph.D. mewn Daearyddiaeth Ddynol a Chynllunio Trefol, lle canolbwyntiodd ar nodi patrymau a dynameg defnydd tir mewn dinasoedd o Ganol a Dwyrain Ewrop cyn ac ar ôl cwymp comiwnyddiaeth. Trwy'r ymchwil hon, datblygodd ddealltwriaeth ddofn o'r grymoedd cymdeithasol ac economaidd cymhleth sy'n siapio tirweddau trefol.

Addysgu
Cyn ymuno â Phrifysgol Caerdydd, roeddwn yn dal swydd Cymrawd Dysgu ym Mhrifysgol Iasi (Romania) Alexandru Ioan Cuza, lle roeddwn yn dysgu cyrsiau, seminarau a thiwtorialau israddedig ac ôl-raddedig. Roedd fy mhortffolio addysgu yn cwmpasu ystod o bynciau, gan gynnwys Daearyddiaeth Ddynol, Daearyddiaeth Drefol, Cartograffeg a Geomateg, Daearyddiaeth Amgylcheddol, a GIS.
Yn y rôl hon, roeddwn i'n gyfrifol am ddarparu addysgu o ansawdd uchel a diddorol a hwyluso dysgu gweithredol yn yr ystafell ddosbarth. Roedd fy ymagwedd addysgu yn blaenoriaethu rhoi'r wybodaeth a'r sgiliau sydd eu hangen ar fyfyrwyr i gymhwyso egwyddorion daearyddol i heriau'r byd go iawn.
