Uwch Ddarlithydd mewn Tectoneg Bensaernïol ac Uwch Diwtor Personol
Trosolwyg
Ymunais ag Ysgol Pensaernïaeth Cymru yn 2022. Rwy'n bensaer ac ymchwilydd sy'n arbenigo yn yr amgylchedd adeiledig cynaliadwy, gyda dros 25 mlynedd o brofiad cyfunol mewn ymarfer pensaernïol, arweinyddiaeth academaidd, ac ymchwil.
Cyn ymuno â WSA, gwasanaethais fel Pennaeth Cyswllt yr Ysgol Addysgu, Dysgu a Phrofiad Myfyrwyr yn yr Ysgol Celf, Dylunio a Phensaernïaeth, Prifysgol Plymouth. Fe wnes i hefyd arwain ffrwd Technoleg y rhaglenni BA Pensaernïaeth a MArch, ac am dair blynedd roeddwn yn Arweinydd Rhaglen ar gyfer Technoleg Bensaernïol a'r Amgylchedd. Yn gynharach yn fy ngyrfa, roeddwn yn Diwtor mewn Technoleg Bensaernïol ym Mhrifysgol Caeredin (2009–2012), ac yn Athro Cyswllt yn Ysgol Pensaernïaeth MSRIT, Bangalore, India (1995–2006). Ochr yn ochr â fy rôl academaidd, cyfarwyddais fy ymarfer pensaernïol fy hun, gan gyflwyno tua 120 o brosiectau.
Mae gen i PhD mewn Pensaernïaeth o Brifysgol Caeredin (2014), lle canolbwyntiodd fy ymchwil ar yr amgylchedd adeiledig cynaliadwy. Cefnogwyd fy astudiaethau doethurol gan Ysgoloriaeth Ymchwil Coleg y Dyniaethau a'r Gwyddorau Cymdeithasol a'r Wobr Myfyrwyr Ymchwil Tramor, a dyfarnwyd Gwobr David Willis i mi am berfformiad rhagorol ymhlith myfyrwyr PhD blwyddyn gyntaf.
Mae fy arweinyddiaeth addysgu ac ymchwil wedi cael ei gydnabod gyda nifer o anrhydeddau, gan gynnwys y Wobr Cyfraniad Eithriadol gan Brifysgol Caerdydd (2024) ac enwebiadau ar gyfer Gwobr yr Is-Ganghellor ym Mhrifysgol Plymouth (2021) a Gwobr Goruchwyliwr Ôl-raddedig y Flwyddyn (2021). Yn gynharach yn fy ngyrfa, cefais y Rheng Gyntaf a Dwy Fedal Aur am fy Meistr mewn Cynllunio Trefol a Rhanbarthol o Brifysgol Mysore, India (1995).

Ymchwil
Diddordeb Ymchwil
Mae fy niddordebau ymchwil yn gorwedd yn sut y gall dyheadau perchnogion tai lywio strategaethau cynaliadwy mewn dylunio pensaernïol. Mae fy ymchwil yn mynd y tu hwnt i fesur perfformiad technegol yn yr adeilad ac yn archwilio sut mae ymddygiad adeiladau yn gymwys i gynrychioli hyn yn y cyd-destunau cymdeithasol a diwylliannol ehangach. Yn fwy diweddar, rwy'n gweithio ar effaith dewisiadau gwybodus diwylliannol ar iechyd a lles defnyddwyr mewn mannau dan do. Rwy'n archwilio ymddygiad defnyddwyr a dewisiadau sy'n ymwneud â'r ffordd rydym yn defnyddio gofod a'i effaith ar ansawdd aer dan do a chysur thermol aelwydydd lleiafrifoedd ethnig.
Rwy'n hapus i dderbyn ymholiadau a cheisiadau gan ddarpar fyfyrwyr PhD sydd â diddordeb mewn unrhyw un o'r themâu uchod.
