Trosolwyg
Prif ddiddordeb ymchwil Gabriela yw ym maes perfformiad ynni ac adeiladu cynaliadwyedd. Mae ei gwaith yn canolbwyntio ar y ffactorau dynol (gweithredoedd pobl, ymddygiadau) sy'n effeithio ar berfformiad adeiladau. Mae'n cymhwyso technegau monitro, damcaniaethau gwyddorau cymdeithasol a dulliau ymchwil gwyddorau cymdeithasol i ymchwilio i'r nexus rhwng agweddau technegol a dynol ar berfformiad.
Mae hi wedi ymchwilio i ffactorau dynol mewn perfformiad a chynaliadwyedd yn y broses ddylunio ac mewn adeiladau sydd ar waith. Mae ei gwaith ar adeiladau presennol yn edrych ar y nexus rhwng ymddygiadau/arferion preswylwyr, gan arwain at amgylchedd dan do (cysur thermol yn benodol) a pherfformiad adeiladu. Nod hyn yw ysgogi ymddygiadau/arferion i fynd i'r afael â heriau perfformiad. Mae ei gwaith dylunio yn edrych ar sut mae dylunwyr yn mynegi ac yn ymgorffori gofynion perfformiad a chynaliadwyedd yn y broses ddylunio. Nod hyn yw nodi gwersi o'r broses ddylunio i wella perfformiad yng nghamau diweddarach y cylch bywyd adeiladu. Mae ganddi ddiddordeb mewn gwaith rhyngddisgyblaethol gan edrych ar y materion hyn mewn prosesau dylunio ac mewn gwahanol fathau o adeiladau, yn enwedig adeiladau ysgolion. Mae ganddi ddiddordeb mewn gweithio ar blant - gan ganolbwyntio ar ymchwil ac ymchwilio i sut mae pobl ifanc yn cymryd rhan mewn adeiladau cynaliadwy.

Gweithgareddau ymchwil
'Ystafelloedd dosbarth cyffyrddus ac egniol: Cynaliadwyedd trwy labordai byw' a ariennir gan Ymddiriedolaeth Leverhulme (01/02/2025- 31/01/2028). Byddwn yn cyd-ddylunio labordai byw dan arweiniad plant mewn ysgolion cynradd er mwyn i ddisgyblion gyd-gynhyrchu ymchwil, dadansoddi ac atebion cynaliadwy ar gyfer eu hysgolion eu hunain. Bydd plant yn arbrofi ac yn dysgu am y cysylltiadau rhwng amgylchedd dan do, eu gweithredoedd a'u perfformiad adeiladu. Mae'r ymchwil yn integreiddio astudiaethau o berfformiad adeiladu a gweithgareddau dysgu plant i gyfoethogi approahces pedagogical ar gyfer dysgu a byw cynaliadwyedd.
Prosiect cenhadaeth ddinesig 2025
Roedd prosiect cenhadaeth ddinesig 2024 'Plant fel dinasyddion cynaliadwy', yn hyrwyddo addysg cynaliadwyedd ymhlith disgyblion ysgolion cynradd, gan gefnogi nodau Datblygu Cynaliadwy'r Cenhedloedd Unedig ac agenda cynaliadwyedd Deddf Cenedlaethau'r Dyfodol Cymru. Disgyblion yn ymwneud â gwyddoniaeth, cynaliadwyedd a dysgu drwy brofiad; casglu data amgylchedd dan do yn eu hysgolion eu hunain. Gwnaethom ddarparu gweithgareddau mewn 10 ysgol yn Ninas-ranbarth Caerdydd. https://www.cardiff.ac.uk/community/our-local-community-projects/innovation-for-all/civic-missiona-and-public-engagement-progression-fund/children-as-sustainable-citizens

Mae'r prosiectau'n archwilio sut i ddefnyddio data monitro i greu adnoddau addysgol i gefnogi dysgu plant am amodau dan do mewn adeiladau ac yn ehangach, defnydd adeiladau/perfformiad ynni a chynaliadwyedd. https://www.cardiff.ac.uk/news/view/2585187-cardiff-university-team-to-explore-indoor-air-quality-in-primary-schools

Bywgraffiad
Mae gan Gabriela PhD mewn Pensaernïaeth o Brifysgol Caerdydd (a ariennir gan efrydiaeth PhD Sefydliad Ymchwil Adeiladu) a Gradd Meistr mewn Technolegau Adeiladu Pensaernïaeth o Sefydliad Technoleg Georgia, UDA (a ariennir gan grant Fulbright/Senacty). Mae ganddi brofiad ymchwil yn y Deyrnas Unedig, yn yr Unol Daleithiau ac yn Ecwador.
Mae hi'n bensaer sydd â diddordeb mewn defnyddio dulliau cymdeithasol-dechnegol i ymchwilio i adeiladau cynaliadwy, perfformiad adeiladu, proses ddylunio a gwybodaeth dylunwyr. Mae ganddi ddiddordeb yn y nexus rhwng technoleg pobl ar waith ac mewn camau dylunio.
Prif ddiddordeb ymchwil Gabriela yw ym maes perfformiad ynni ac adeiladu cynaliadwyedd. Mae ei gwaith yn ymchwilio i sut mae ffactorau dynol (gweithredoedd pobl, ymddygiadau) yn effeithio ar berfformiad adeiladau. Mae'n cymhwyso technegau monitro, damcaniaethau/dulliau gwyddorau cymdeithasol i ymchwilio i'r nexus rhwng agweddau technegol a dynol ar berfformiad. Mae ganddi brofiad o werthuso perfformiad adeiladau (BPE) ac asesu cynaliadwyedd mewn cyfnodau dylunio a gweithredol. Mae ei gwaith yn y cyfnod gweithredol wedi edrych ar y berthynas rhwng cysur thermol ac effeithlonrwydd ynni, gan ganolbwyntio ar y nexus rhwng arferion preswylwyr a pherfformiad adeiladu dilynol. Mae ei gwaith dylunio yn ymchwilio i'r defnydd o offer a'r prosesau a weithredir gan ymarferwyr i ymgorffori ystyriaethau perfformiad mewn dylunio adeiladau.
