Biography

Cefais fy ngeni a’m magu yn Abertawe, ond gadewais fy nhref enedigol a symudais i Brifysgol Caerwysg i gael fy ngradd a’m doethuriaeth mewn ffiseg.

Ar ôl dychwelyd i Gymru yn 1986, fe wnes i ymchwil yn yr Ysgol Ffiseg a Seryddiaeth ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd. Yna gadewais ym 1992 i fod Athro Cyswllt cyntaf Hitachi mewn Electroneg Deunyddiau Cwantwm yng Nghanolfan Ymchwil Electroneg Rhyngwyneb Cwantwm, Prifysgol Hokkaido, Sapporo, Japan.

Ers dychwelyd i’r DU, rwyf wedi bod yn ddarlithydd yn yr Ysgol Ffiseg a Seryddiaeth ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd (1993-1996), wedi astudio am MSc mewn Cyfathrebu Gwyddoniaeth yn Techniquest, ac wedi darlithio ar y cwrs BA mewn Gwyddoniaeth, y Gymdeithas a’r Cyfryngau ym Mhrifysgol Gorllewin Lloegr.

Ymunais â’ tîm Datblygiad Proffesiynol a Parhaus ym 1999, ac rydw i wedi cyflwyno darlithoedd arddangos a gweithdai ffiseg ar gyfathrebu gwyddoniaeth yn y DU, Iwerddon a De Affrica.

Rydw i’n dal i gredu’n gryf mewn ‘mynd â gwyddoniaeth at y bobl'.
