Ymchwil
Ymchwil PhD: Dadansoddiad sefyllfaol o gyfranogiad gweithgarwch corfforol ar gyfer plant a phobl ifanc ag anhwylderau niwrolegol.
Pŵer Pedal: A yw cyfranogiad mewn beicio deinamig wedi'i addasu yn effeithio ar gryfder a hyd cyhyrau aelodau isaf, lefelau gweithgaredd, ac ansawdd bywyd i blant a phobl ifanc â Pharlys yr Ymennydd? Roedd hwn yn brosiect ymchwil cydweithredol tair blynedd (2009-2011) sy'n ymchwilio i effeithiau ymyrraeth cyfranogiad beicio deinamig wedi'i addasu ar gyfer plant a phobl ifanc â pharlys yr ymennydd. Defnyddiodd y prosiect hwn ddulliau meintiol ac ansoddol.
Prosiect cwmpasu: Cwmpasu am gyfleoedd i ddatblygu ymchwil adsefydlu yng Nghymru. Medi 2008 - Mehefin 2009. Ariannodd Llywodraeth Cynulliad Cymru y prosiect ymchwil cydweithredol blwyddyn hwn.
Astudiaeth Beilot ar Effeithiau Rhaglen Ymarfer Corff yn y Cartref sy'n Cryfhau Aelodau Isaf ar gyfer Plant â Pharlys yr Ymennydd (2008) - MSc Ymchwil: Dyluniad ymchwil un pwnc sy'n ymchwilio i'r defnydd o raglenni ymarfer corff cartref cryfhau ar gyfer plant a phobl ifanc â Pharlys yr Ymennydd - ymchwiliwyd i effeithiau ar gryfder, cerdded a spastigrwydd, yn ogystal â lefelau cysondeb.
Addysgu
Dechreuais weithio fel Darlithydd ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd ym mis Medi 2004 (rhan amser 2004-2009, llawn amser 2009-hyd yn hyn). Cwblheais PhD yn llwyddiannus, Chwefror 2025. Cwblheais Dystysgrif Ôl-raddedig mewn Dysgu ac Addysgu Prifysgol yn 2011. Mae fy addysgu yn cynnwys niwroleg, ffisioleg, sgiliau clinigol ffisiotherapi ac ymarfer ffisiotherapi, ymchwil, a datblygiad personol a phroffesiynol, ar raglenni gradd Ffisiotherapi Israddedig (BSc) ac Meistr Ôl-raddedig (MSc). Rwy'n goruchwylio Myfyrwyr PhD a myfyrwyr MSc ac UG mewn ymchwil.
Roeddwn i'n Rheolwr Rhaglen Ffisiotherapi BSc (Anrh) rhwng 2012-2016 a chwaraeais ran sylweddol wrth achredu a dilysu Rhaglen Ffisiotherapi BSc (Anrh) Israddedig newydd, a weithredwyd yn 2014. Roedd y rhaglen newydd yn cynnwys Modiwlau Addysg Rhyngbroffesiynol (IPE) lle rwy'n arwain modiwl IPE mawr sy'n cynnwys chwe phroffesiwn gofal iechyd, 2015-2019.
Rwy'n ymrwymedig i arferion cydweithredol a chynhyrchu ymarferwyr medrus, gofalgar a thosturiol. Fel Swyddog Addysg Cymdeithas Siartredig Ffisiotherapi (CSP) Cymru (2013-2017) rwyf wedi cyfrannu ar lefel genedlaethol at ddadl ar addysg a chwricwlwm ffisiotherapi. Mae fy ymchwil a'm hysgolheictod sy'n ymwneud â phoblogaethau pediatrig wedi llywio'r pynciau pediatrig a hyrwyddo iechyd o fewn modiwlau a addysgir Israddedig ac Ôl-raddedig. Rwy'n aelod o'r CSP, yn aelod o Gymdeithas y Ffisiotherapyddion Siartredig Pediatrig (APCP), ac yn Gymrawd o'r Academi Addysg Uwch. Rwy'n Ymddiriedolwr gwirfoddol ar gyfer Elusen Dreigiau Rhedeg Ffrâm Caerdydd i blant ac oedolion.
Ar y dechrau yn gweithio'n rhan-amser fel Darlithydd, 2004-2009, symudais i waith llawn amser fel Darlithydd ym mis Medi 2009. Cefais Ddyrchafiad Academaidd i Uwch Ddarlithydd ar lwybr Addysgu ac Ysgoloriaeth ym mis Awst 2018.
