Darlithydd mewn Cynllunio a Datblygu Trefol
Trosolwyg
Rwy'n wyddonydd cymdeithasol sy'n ymchwilio i gynllunio, datblygu a llywodraethu dinasoedd. Mae fy ymchwil yn canolbwyntio ar wleidyddiaeth ddadleuol datblygu cymunedol a sut mae cyfranogiad yn helpu i lunio gofod trefol, natur newidiol arbenigedd a masnachu gwybodaeth drefol, a sut mae technoleg ddigidol yn strwythuro gwneud penderfyniadau a llywodraethu fwyfwy.
Mae fy mhrosiect ymchwil diweddaraf, Just Neighbourhoods?, yn archwilio cwestiynau cyfiawnder cymdeithasol ac amgylcheddol mewn cymdogaethau trefol sydd wedi'u tangynrychioli ledled y DU.
Ymunais â Chaerdydd ym mis Hydref 2021. Cyn hyn, roeddwn yn dal swyddi ym Mhrifysgol Reading, Prifysgol Sheffield ac UCL. Cwblheais fy PhD ym Mhrifysgol Sheffield yn 2017 wedi'i ariannu gan yr ESRC. Rwy'n Gymrawd Advance HE (FHEA) ac yn Aelod Cyswllt o'r RTPI (AssocRTPI). Rwy'n gwasanaethu fel Golygydd Adolygiadau Llyfrau ar gyfer Adolygiad Cynllunio Trefol ac yn croesawu ymholiadau am deitlau sydd ar ddod i'w hadolygu.
