Mae fy ymchwil yn canolbwyntio ar faterion sy'n ymwneud â derbynioldeb cymdeithasol trawsnewidiadau ynni carbon isel, ynni a seilwaith mewn bywyd bob dydd, a rôl rôl lle, ystyr ddiwylliannol ac emosiwn wrth lunio penderfyniadau cymdeithasol-dechnegol. Mae gen i arbenigedd penodol mewn dadddiwydiannu, cyfiawnder ynni, a dulliau perthynol o gytuno a derbynioldeb seilwaith. A (yn bennaf) ymchwilydd ansoddol trwy hyfforddiant, rwy'n arbenigo mewn dulliau ymgysylltu affectively o drafod cyhoeddus, ethnograffeg ar-lein ac all-lein, a chyfweld bywgraffyddol. 

Rwy'n siarad â phobl am egni. Yna ysgrifennwch amdano.

I am currently a member of the School of Psychology’s  Understanding Risk Group, working on the EPSRC funded project CO2  Injection and Storage- short and long term behaviour at different spatial  scales. This project is examining risks associated with CO2 injection and  storage, a technology that aims to reduce atmospheric CO2 emissions by  capturing them at power plants and other industrial sources and injecting them  deep underground, thus preventing them from contributing to climate change.  Researchers from the Understanding Risk Group will be conducting deliberative  workshops to examine how trust and wider values shape how experts and members  of the public perceive the risks and benefits associated with CO2 injection and  storage.

In previous work I have provided qualitative analysis for  Cardiff’s Energy Biographies Project, in particular focusing on how  psycho-social experiences of practices and interdependency texture subjects  constructions of waste in everyday life. My PhD focused on UK innovation policy,  specifically in relation to hydrogen energy technologies. Drawing insights from  science and technologies studies and policy studies it developed an  interpretive case study account of the role of ideas and power in innovation  governance processes.
