Cwblheais fy ngradd israddedig mewn Gwyddor Peirianneg ym Mhrifysgol Rhydychen yn 2001, lle'r oeddwn yn arbenigo mewn Dynameg Hylifau. Ar ôl cwblhau fy ngradd, gweithiais mewn Ymgynghoriaeth Risg ar gyfer y Sector Olew a Nwy ac ym maes datblygu Safonau Gwyddonol yn y Swyddfa Gartref. Yn 2011, ymgymerais â'm Doethuriaeth mewn Peirianneg ym Mhrifysgol Abertawe yn y defnydd o Ddynameg Hylifol Gyfrifiadurol (CFD) mewn Prosesau Cymysgu Diwydiannol. Wedi hynny, gweithiais fel ymchwilydd ôl-ddoethuriaeth fel rhan o dîm ASTUTE ym Mhrifysgol Abertawe, gan barhau â'm hymchwil mewn CFD gymhwysol ynghyd â thechnegau Optimeiddio. Enillais fy statws Siartredig gydag IMechE yn 2017. Ym mis Mehefin 2019 cefais fy mhenodi'n Ddarlithydd o fewn y portffolio Peirianneg Fecanyddol ym Mhrifysgol Abertawe. Mae fy meysydd diddordeb presennol wedi'u rhannu rhwng ymchwil addysgegol i ddulliau addysgu Addysg Uwch ac Industry 4.0; yn benodol, datblygu Efeilliaid Digidol – a fydd yn adeiladu ar fy mhrofiad blaenorol sy'n seiliedig ar efelychu.

Diddordebau Addysgu

Ar hyn o bryd rwy'n gydgysylltydd modiwlau ar gyfer y modiwl Industry 4.0 sy’n cael ei addysgu i fyfyrwyr Peirianneg Fecanyddol israddedig yn eu 3ydd flwyddyn. Mae'r modiwl hwn yn canolbwyntio ar dechnolegau gyrwyr Industry 4.0 ac yn ystyried agweddau ar ei roi ar waith yn llwyddiannus yn y Diwydiant presennol.

Rwyf hefyd yn addysgu technegau Optimeiddio i fyfyrwyr Lefel Meistr.

Modiwlau a Addysgir

EG-3066 Industry 4.0

This module introduces fundamental concepts and enabling digital technologies of Industry 4.0. Through practical case studies and exposure to latest research, students will be able to understand how digital technologies such as Big Data, Machine Learning, Augmented Reality, Robotics, Simulation and Additive Manufacturing can be utilised in an industrial context to improve product design, manufacturing processes and supply chain management. The course will equip the participant with the relevant skills to become capable of deploying and evaluating digital technologies in industrial production systems to achieve more flexible, customised and efficient operations in different industrial sectors.
EGA130 Thermofluids

This Thermofluids module will encompass theory of both Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics. Thermodynamics is about how heat and work relate to the energy content of a system; and Fluid Mechanics is the study of energy and forces in a fluid.
EGA214 Mechanical Engineering Design 2

Within this module students will be expected to complete a series of exercises that will the form the basis of a 'major' design. The scope of the module will involve the students to work in groups where they will consider, as a team, conceptual designs, embodiment using innovative approaches to design processes and standards etc., leading to final design documentations and manufacturing techniques.
