Trosolwg

Rwy'n Athro Ymchwil Nodedig yn yr Ysgol Peirianneg. Mae fy niddordebau ymchwil ym meysydd Geo-Ynni a Pheirianneg Geo-amgylcheddol. Yn fwy penodol, rwy'n gweithio ar broblemau sy'n gysylltiedig â "Phrosesau Cypledig" fel Thermo/Hydrolig neu Thermo/Hydrolig/Cemegol. Mae’r meysydd sy'n ymwneud â chymhwyso fy ngwaith yn cynnwys gwaredu gwastraff o dan y ddaear, gan gynnwys gwaredu gwastraff niwclear lefel uchel; glanhau halogiad tir; ynni o'r ddaear fel mewn cymwysiadau gwres o’r ddaear; storio carbon deuocsid dan ddaear a nwyeiddio glo tanddaearol. Rwy'n Gymrawd y Gymdeithas Frenhinol, yn Gymrawd yr Academi Beirianneg Frenhinol ac yn Aelod o Academia Europaea. Ar hyn o bryd fi yw Llywydd Cymdeithas Ddysgedig Cymru.
