Trosolwg Carrer
Rwy'n Ddarlithydd Radiograffeg a Delweddu Diagnostig (BSc) ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd ac yn radiograffydd diagnostig cofrestredig HCPC. Mae gen i BSc (Anrh) mewn Radiograffeg o Brifysgol Sri Lanka a PhD o Brifysgol Chiba, Japan yn y flwyddyn 2017. Gwasanaethais fel Uwch Ddarlithydd yn yr Adran Radiograffeg, Cyfadran Gwyddorau Iechyd Perthynol, Prifysgol Peradeniya, Sri Lanka, lle treuliais 12 mlynedd o brofiad yn y byd academaidd.
Mae fy arbenigedd ymchwil yn bennaf mewn dulliau meintiol, gan gwmpasu cydweithredu amlddisgyblaethol, dadansoddi delweddau, a chyfranogiad cleifion. Mae fy niddordebau ymchwil cyfredol yn cynnwys Addysg Gofal Iechyd, technegau dysgu peirianyddol, asesiad dwysedd y fron, gwerthuso nodwedd a gwead, a dadansoddi radio-morffometreg.
Rwy'n agored i oruchwylio myfyrwyr ôl-raddedig yn y meysydd canlynol: radiograffeg gyffredinol, radiograffeg deintyddol, mamograffeg, tomograffeg gyfrifiadurol (CT), a delweddu cyseiniant magnetig (MRI).
