Trosolwyg

Rwy'n Athro mewn Peirianneg Geoamgylcheddol ac yn arwain Ymchwil Geoamgylcheddol yn yr Ysgol Peirianneg, Prifysgol Caerdydd.

Mae'r prosiect diweddar yr wyf yn ei arwain/neu rwyf wedi'i arwain yn cynnwys prosiectau ymchwil aml-sefydliad/aml-bartner mawr: prosiect ASPIRE a ariennir gan EPSRC (Prosesau Supergene Cyflymu mewn Peirianneg Gadwrf, £1.5M, EP/T031018/1); ac ariannodd WEFO METAL-SoLVER (Mine Effluent Treatment At Low-cost gan ddefnyddio Adweithyddion Llif Fertigol Cynaliadwy, £2M). Cyn hynny, arweiniais grant consortiwm INSPIRE (NERC, NE/L013908/1, £1.3M, 2014-2018) fel rhan o raglen flaenllaw NERC "Adfer Adnoddau o Wastraff".

Mae gennyf ddiddordeb mewn ymchwil ryngddisgyblaethol sy'n canolbwyntio ar ddiwydiant mewn peirianneg geoamgylcheddol sy'n tynnu ar, ac yn cydlynu ymchwil ar draws peirianneg, gwyddorau daear, biowyddorau a chemeg i fynd i'r afael â heriau mawr mewn peirianneg geoamgylcheddol, yn enwedig mewn perthynas â:

  • Rheoli dŵr a gwastraff pwll glo
  • Adfer adnoddau o wastraff diwydiannol
  • Peirianneg Geoamgylcheddol  yn yr Economi Gylchol
  • Cymwysiadau peirianneg biogeocemeg haearn
  • Peirianneg technolegau triniaeth sy'n seiliedig ar natur
