Trosolwyg
Mae Andy yn arbenigwr yn archaeoleg Gorllewin Prydain Hen Ddiweddar a Gorllewin y Canol Oesoedd Cynnar. Ar hyn o bryd mae'n cymryd rhan mewn sawl prosiect ymchwil, gyda ffocws penodol ar Gymru a de-orllewin Lloegr. Yn archaeolegydd maes gweithredol, mae wedi cyfarwyddo cloddiadau ar 'fanciau deheuol' Dinas Powys ac ym Mynydd St Albans ger Caerllion. Yn ddiweddar mae wedi dechrau prosiect newydd yn ymchwilio i safleoedd canoloesol cynnar o fewn cyffiniau Castell Fonmon. Mae wedi cyhoeddi'n eang ar amrywiaeth o bynciau ac ar hyn o bryd mae'n gweithio ar fonograff ar fryngaerau yng ngorllewin cynnar canoloesol Prydain.

Ymchwil
Mae diddordebau ymchwil Andy yn cynnwys:
- Hen Bethau Diweddar a gorllewin gorllewin cynnar y Canol Oesoedd Cynnar;
- Bryngaerau ac aneddiadau amddiffynedig;
- Grym a brenhiniaeth;
- Cristnogaeth a'r eglwys gynnar;
- Amaethyddiaeth, tirwedd a'r economi;
- Ffurfio Mawrth Cymru.
Mae gan Andy ddiddordeb arbennig mewn archaeoleg tirwedd ac ymchwil amlddisgyblaethol. Mae wedi arwain nifer o brosiectau ymchwil, gan gynnwys Manifestations of the Empire, a ariennir gan AHRC, sy'n defnyddio dadansoddiad paill cydraniad uchel i archwilio parhad a newidiadau yn yr amgylchedd a defnydd tir rhwng y cyfnodau Rhufeinig a dechrau'r canoloesoedd. Ar hyn o bryd mae'n PI ar Making the March: Contesting Lands in the Early Medieval Frontier a CI on Hidden Kingdoms: The South West of Britain in Late Antiquity a ariennir hefyd gan Ymddiriedolaeth Leverhulme. Yn ddiweddar, cyd-ysgrifennodd y fframwaith ymchwil archeolegol diweddaraf ar gyfer Cymru yn yr Oesoedd Canol cynnar, ac mae'n ymwneud â nifer o rwydweithiau ymchwil Prydeinig ac Ewropeaidd, gan gynnwys Aneddiadau Hilltop Hwyr yn Ewrop (LAHIS).
Addysgu
Mae Andy yn Gymrawd o Advance HE. Mae'n addysgu archaeoleg ganoloesol gynnar, yn cydlynu hyfforddiant gwaith maes a lleoliadau, ac yn cyfrannu at ystod o fodiwlau eraill ar lefel israddedig ac ôl-raddedig.
