Trosolwyg
- Rwy'n Ddarlithydd mewn Ecoleg Planhigion, yn addysgu cyrsiau ecoleg a gwyddor planhigion israddedig ac ôl-raddedig yr ysgol.
- Fy mhrif ddiddordebau ymchwil yw ym maes bioleg planhigion gymhwysol, rhyngweithiadau planhigion-microbe-pryfed, ecoleg cemegol, a diogelu cnydau. Rwy'n canolbwyntio ar swyddogaethau amddiffynnol cyfansoddion organig anweddol (VOCs), gan ymchwilio i'w rôl fel infochemicals hanfodol mewn rhyngweithio planhigion.
- Trwy ddull rhyngddisgyblaethol sy'n cwmpasu cemeg ddadansoddol, entomoleg, microbioleg, ecoleg ymddygiadol a mwy, yr wyf yn nodweddu'r proffiliau VOC mewn planhigion cnwd a microbau, gan ddatgelu ffactorau sy'n dylanwadu ar eu allyriadau.
- Mae fy labordy yn ymdrechu i ddeall rhyngweithiadau planhigion-microbe-pryfed i ddatblygu tactegau ecolegol gyfeillgar ar gyfer amddiffyn cnydau, gan fynd i'r afael â diogelwch bwyd byd-eang.
- Fel Golygydd Cyswllt ac yn Adolygydd ar gyfer nifer o gyfnodolion o'r radd flaenaf yn ogystal â bod yn Gymrawd y Gymdeithas Entomolegol Frenhinol, mae fy arbenigedd yn ymestyn y tu hwnt i academyddion.
- Mae fy nghyhoeddiadau a'm cofnod gwirio o adolygiadau o gyfnodolion i'w gweld ResearchGate, Google Scholar, Publons ac ORCID®. I wybod mwy am fy ndiweddariadau ymchwil, dilynwch fi ar Twitter a LinkedIn.

Ymchwil
Trosolwg ymchwil
Mae fy mhrif ddiddordebau ymchwil ym maes bioleg planhigion cymhwysol, rhyngweithiadau planhigion-microb-pryfed, amddiffyniad planhigion ysgogedig, ecoleg gemegol a diogelu cnydau. Mae gen i ddiddordeb arbennig yn swyddogaethau amddiffynnol y cyfansoddion organig anweddol (VOCs) a allyrrir gan blanhigion a'u microbau cysylltiedig. Gan gyfuno bioleg planhigion, entomoleg, ecoleg ymddygiadol, microbioleg, cemeg ddadansoddol, bioleg foleciwlaidd, ffisioleg planhigion, ac ystadegau multivariate, rwy'n ceisio nodweddu proffiliau VOC planhigion a microbau, yn enwedig y ffactorau (abiotig a biotig) sy'n effeithio ar neu reoleiddio allyriadau'r signalau amddiffyn hyn a sut mae'r VOCs hyn yn cyfryngu ymddygiad pryfed o lefelau troffig uwch. Fy mhrif ymdrech yw deall yn well mecanweithiau sylfaenol rhyngweithiadau planhigion-microb-pryfed sy'n cael eu cyfryngu gan VOCs, gyda'r nod o ddatblygu ymyriadau ecolegol anfalaen, cyfeillgar i'r amgylchedd a fforddiadwy ar gyfer amddiffyn cnydau rhag plâu pryfed fel cyfyngiadau allweddol i ddiogelwch bwyd byd-eang.

Bywgraffiad
- Ar hyn o bryd, rwy'n Ddarlithydd mewn Ecoleg Planhigion, yn addysgu cyrsiau ecoleg a gwyddor planhigion israddedig ac ôl-raddedig yr ysgol. Mae fy niddordebau ymchwil ym maes bioleg planhigion gymhwysol, rhyngweithiadau planhigion-microbe-pryfed, ecoleg cemegol a diogelu cnydau.
- Yn 2021, ymunais â Phrifysgol Caerdydd fel Cydymaith Ymchwil i gynnal ymchwil o fewn ymddygiad bwydo mosgito gan ddefnyddio systemau bwydo siwgr newydd.
- Yn 2018, ymunais â Phrifysgol Keele, y DU, fel cydymaith ymchwil mewn ecoleg gemegol. Yno, gweithiais gyda chydweithwyr o icipe (Kenya) ar ddatblygu cam newydd o blannu cydymaith 'gwthio' ar gyfer mynd i'r afael â'r llyngyr byddin cwympo, bygythiadau pryfed ymledol newydd diogelwch bwyd, yn Affrica Is-Sahara.
- Yn 2016, ymunais â KU Leuven, Gwlad Belg, fel cydymaith ymchwil ôl-ddoethurol lle cefais gyfle i ehangu fy arbenigedd mewn rhyngweithio planhigion-pryfedi i gynnwys microbau sy'n gysylltiedig â neithdarn blodeuol, yn enwedig burumau sy'n cynhyrchu aroma. Dangosais fod burumau sy'n byw mewn neithdar yn cynhyrchu llygod microbaidd penodol sy'n cyfryngu'n gadarn ymddygiad chwilota pryfed sy'n ymweld â blodau.
- Yn 2013, ymunais â'r grŵp Rhyngweithiadau Plant-Pryfed ym Mhrifysgol Okayama, Japan, ar ôl bod yn dyfarnu Cymrodoriaeth Ôl-ddoethurol Cymdeithas Japan ar gyfer Hyrwyddo Gwyddoniaeth (JSPS). Yno, ymchwiliais i nodweddion amddiffyn anorchfygol reis a sorghum yn erbyn llysysyddion lepidopterous.
- Yn 2012, ar ôl dyfarnu fy PhD mewn Entomoleg (Ecoleg Cemegol), dyfarnwyd Cymrodoriaeth Ryngwladol Rothamsted (RIF) i mi barhau â'm llinell ymchwil PhD ar gymellwyr amddiffyn planhigion, fel cymrawd ôl-ddoethurol yn Rothamsted Research, y DU. Ymchwiliais i sut mae elicitor, cis-jasmone (CJ), yn ennyn amddiffyniad tatws yn erbyn aphids ac yn modiwleiddio allyriad folatilau amddiffyn.
- Yn 2009, dyfarnwyd cymrodoriaeth doethuriaeth (Sandwich PhD) i mi gynnal fy astudiaethau PhD ym Mhrifysgol Neuchâtel, y Swistir. Yn fy PhD, llwyddais i gynyddu atyniad planhigion indrawn i barasioidau gyda chymhwyso elicitorau cemegol planhigion.
- Yn 2004, cwblheais MSc mewn Entomoleg (Rheoli Biolegol) yn llwyddiannus ar y ffactorau sy'n effeithio ar gynhyrchu màs yr ysglyfaethwyr anthocorid ym Mhrifysgol Camlas Suez, yr Aifft.
