Trosolwyg
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.

Ymchwil
Pynciau ymchwil
Ar hyn o bryd rwy'n aelod o Grŵp Risg Deall Deall yr Ysgol Seicoleg, yn gweithio ar y prosiect a ariennir gan EPSRC HIACT: Integreiddio Hydrogen ar gyfer Trawsnewid Ynni Cyflym.
Mae prosiectau blaenorol yn cynnwys:
NUEPA - Uwchraddio Rhwydwaith, Peirianneg a Derbynioldeb Cyhoeddus a oedd yn canolbwyntio ar yr aflonyddwch yn y cartref ac is-strwythurol sy'n gysylltiedig â datgarboneiddio gwres yn y DU.
FLEXIS - ymgysylltu â'r gymuned o amgylch strategaethau datgarboneiddio seiliedig ar leoedd ym Mhort Talbot, De Cymru
RESTLESS- Gwireddu Storio Ynni mewn Technolegau mewn Systemau Ynni Carbon Isel - trafodaethau dinasyddion ar amrywiaeth o dechnolegau storio ynni ledled y DU
CO2 Chwistrellu a Storio - ymddygiad tymor byr a hir ar raddfeydd gofodol gwahanol - archwilio canfyddiadau lleol o dechnolegau dal a storio carbon i'w defnyddio mewn cymwysiadau trydan, bioynni a diwydiannol.
Bywgraffiadau Ynni - gwaith dadansoddol sy'n archwilio sut mae profiadau seicogymdeithasol o arferion a phynciau gwead rhyngddibyniaeth yn adeiladu gwastraff mewn bywyd bob dydd.
