Trosolwyg
Rwy'n Gydymaith Ymchwil Ôl-ddoethurol wedi'i leoli yn y grŵp ymchwil seicosis yn y Ganolfan Geneteg a Genomeg Niwroseiciatrig, Is-adran Meddygaeth Seicolegol a Niwrowyddorau Clinigol.
Mae fy ymchwil yn cynnwys ymchwilio i'r nodweddion clinigol sy'n gysylltiedig â genynnau penodol mewn sgitsoffrenia fel rhan o gydweithrediad darganfod cyffuriau Takeda a Phrifysgol Caerdydd. Mae gen i ddiddordeb mewn dod o hyd i ffyrdd o adnabod is-grwpiau o bobl â seicosis, fel y gallant elwa o ofal iechyd mwy wedi'i deilwra.

Ymchwil
Fel ymchwilydd sy'n arbenigo mewn sgitsoffrenia a methodoleg epidemiolegol, mae gen i ddiddordeb mewn dod o hyd i ffyrdd o adnabod is-grwpiau o bobl â seicosis fel y gallant elwa o ofal iechyd mwy wedi'i deilwra. Rwy'n angerddol am ddarparu profiad ymchwil rhagorol i gyfranogwyr, dilyn gwyddoniaeth dryloyw, a defnyddio fy ngwybodaeth o ddylunio ac ystadegau ymchwil i wella'r broses wyddonol.
Addysgu
Rwy'n addysgu dulliau ac ystadegau ymchwil epidemiolegol ar y cyrsiau ôl-raddedig a addysgir ôl-raddedig Biowybodeg a Geneteg (MSc) a Biowybodeg Gymhwysol ac Epidemioleg Genetig (MSc).
Bywgraffiad
Ar ôl gradd israddedig mewn seicoleg a gradd meistr mewn ymchwil seiciatrig, dechreuais weithio fel cynorthwyydd ymchwil yn y Sefydliad Seiciatreg, Seicoleg a Niwrowyddoniaeth (IoPPN). Arhosais yno am dros 4 blynedd, gan weithio ar wahanol astudiaethau sy'n cynnwys cyfranogwyr â sgitsoffrenia. Yn ystod fy mlynyddoedd yn yr IoPPN y cwblheais PhD yn rhan-amser.
Ym mis Ionawr 2020, ymunais â'r grŵp ymchwil seicosis yn y Ganolfan Geneteg a Genomeg Niwroseiciatrig, Is-adran Meddygaeth Seicolegol a Niwrowyddorau Clinigol.
Y tu allan i'r gwaith, rwy'n gwirfoddoli i elusen o'r enw The Listening Place (TLP) drwy oruchwylio eu gwerthusiadau gwasanaeth. Mae TLP yn darparu cefnogaeth wyneb yn wyneb, gan wirfoddolwyr hyfforddedig, i bobl nad ydynt bellach yn teimlo bod bywyd yn werth ei fyw.
