Gwasanaethau Academaidd a Chefnogi Myfyrwyr
Trosolwyg
Ffocws ac Addysgu Academaidd: Fy ffocws academaidd yw dysgu oedolion ym meysydd yr amgylchedd, gwyddoniaeth ac astudiaethau cyfrifiadurol. Rwy'n ymroddedig i greu profiad addysgol cyfoethogi sy'n rhagori ar ddysgu traddodiadol sy'n canolbwyntio ar yrfa. Fy nod yw annog dysgu gydol oes a chwilfrydedd mewn gwyddorau amgylcheddol, gan annog myfyrwyr i ddilyn dysgu ar gyfer cyflawniad personol a thwf proffesiynol.
Ymchwil: Mae fy ymchwil yn archwilio croestoriad dadansoddiad gofodol uwch, mapio UAV, a chadwraeth amgylcheddol. Rwyf wedi ymrwymo i ddatblygu offer ymarferol sy'n gwella arferion rheoli tir, mapio cynefinoedd, ac arolygon rhywogaethau. Drwy integreiddio data'r byd go iawn i'n cyrsiau, rwy'n ymdrechu i ddod â chymwysiadau ymarferol yn uniongyrchol i'r ystafell ddosbarth, gan wneud y broses ddysgu yn berthnasol ac yn effeithiol.
Cydweithredu ac Effaith: Ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd, rwy'n cydweithio'n weithredol â mentrau cadwraeth i drawsnewid ymchwil academaidd yn atebion rheoli ecolegol ymarferol. Mae'r partneriaethau hyn yn datblygu'r maes ac yn meithrin cyfleoedd ar gyfer ariannu newydd ac ymdrechion ymchwil cydweithredol, gan yrru nod cyffredin o arferion amgylcheddol cynaliadwy ymlaen.

Ymchwil
Mae fy ymchwil yn canolbwyntio ar groestoriad deinamig gwyddoniaeth a thechnoleg amgylcheddol, yn benodol mewn dadansoddi gofodol datblygedig a mapio UAV. Rwy'n ymroddedig i ddatblygu offer ymarferol sy'n gwella strategaethau rheoli tir yn sylweddol, gan arbenigo mewn mapio cynefinoedd ac arolygon rhywogaethau manwl. Mae'r gwaith hwn yn cyfrannu at gadwraeth amgylcheddol ac yn integreiddio cymwysiadau technolegol blaengar gyda dulliau ymchwil ecolegol traddodiadol, gan ddarparu atebion arloesol ar gyfer heriau amgylcheddol dybryd.
