Trosolwyg
Mae Maryam yn Uwch Ddarlithydd (Athro Cyswllt) Rheoli Cadwyn Gyflenwi Cynaliadwy yn Ysgol Busnes Caerdydd, Prifysgol Caerdydd. Hi yw cyd-gyfarwyddwr Modern Slavery and Social Sustainability Research Group.
Mae ganddi PhD mewn rheoli cadwyn gyflenwi ac MRes mewn Rheolaeth o Bayes (Cass) Business School, City University Llundain. Mae ganddi hefyd MSc mewn Peirianneg Ddiwydiannol o Brifysgol Sharif a BSc mewn Peirianneg Fecanyddol o Brifysgol Gwyddoniaeth a Thechnoleg Iran yn Tehran.
Mary oedd yr ail orau ar gyfer Gwobr Effaith Unigol Caethwasiaeth Modern Anweledig 2023. Roedd y pedwar unigolyn a gyrhaeddodd y rhestr fer ar gyfer y wobr hon yn dod o Scape, Nestle UK, Sodexo a Phrifysgol Caerdydd.Mae'r gwobrau'n ceisio cydnabod y rhai sydd wedi arwain at frwydro yn erbyn camfanteisio ar weithwyr. Mae hi'n rhan o "Fforwm Gwrth-gaethwasiaeth Cymru" Llywodraeth Cymru, yn y "gadwyn gyflenwi a'r grŵp rhyngwladol". Cyd-gadeiriodd Maryam Cynhadledd Gwrth-Gaethwasiaeth 2023 . Trefnodd Ysgol Busnes Caerdydd, mewn partneriaeth â Llywodraeth Cymru, yr heddlu, a sefydliadau'r trydydd sector, gan gynnwys aelodau Fforwm Gwrth-gaethwasiaeth Cymru, gynhadledd Gwrth-gaethwasiaeth Cymru 2023 ar 18 Hydref 2023 i nodi Diwrnod Gwrth-gaethwasiaeth. Cadeiriodd ffrydiau caethwasiaeth fodern a chynaliadwyedd cymdeithasol mewn cynadleddau rhyngwladol fel POMS (2019,2023) ac IPSERA 2022.
Mae ymchwil academaidd Mary yn canolbwyntio ar "gadwyni cyflenwi cynaliadwy" gyda ffocws agweddau cymdeithasol gan gynnwys caethwasiaeth plant, caethwasiaeth fodern a hawliau gweithwyr. Mae hi wedi cyhoeddi papurau gwahanol mewn cyfnodolion wedi'u dyfarnu a chynadleddau rhyngwladol. Mae'n gwasanaethu fel Bwrdd Golygyddol Journal of Transport and Supply Chain Management (JTSCM) ac fel bwrdd cynghori yn Adolygiad Parhad a Gwydnwch, Emerald Publishing mewn cydweithrediad â'r Sefydliad Parhad Busnes.
Mae ganddi hanes llwyddiannus mewn ceisiadau am gyllid a gweithio gyda phartneriaid diwydiannol. Roedd yr arian yn dod o gronfeydd mewnol Cymru Fyd-eang, ESRC a Phrifysgol Caerdydd. Mae'r prosiectau'n canolbwyntio ar gynnwys gwahanol wledydd a sectorau fel ymchwiliad o'r fath ar lafur plant yn India; Ymchwilio i reoli risg caethwasiaeth fodern yn y sector twristiaeth yn fyd-eang neu brosiectau sy'n canolbwyntio ar y DU fel effaith Covid 19 ar safonau cyflogaeth ar draws cadwyni cyflenwi'r DU.
Mae Maryam yn angerddol am addysgu, mae hi hefyd yn Gymrawd yr Academi Addysg Uwch (FHEA). Cynlluniodd fodiwl newydd o "Gynaliadwyedd Cymdeithasol Cadwyn Gyflenwi" ar gyfer Ysgol Busnes Caerdydd, Rhaglen Gynaliadwyedd MSC, sydd, ar ei chyfer, yn gwasanaethu fel arweinydd modiwl o fis Ionawr 2021. Mae hi hefyd yn rhan o'r tîm addysgu gweithredol yn "Help i Dyfu: Rheoli" sydd ar gael i Micro a BBaChau.
Mae Maryam yn cael profiadau o weithio gyda gwahanol sectorau gan gynnwys y sector bwyd a diod, y sector lletygarwch a'r diwydiant ceir. Mae hi hefyd yn gweithio gyda chyrff anllywodraethol, llywodraethau ac Undebau i allu mynd i'r afael â materion cymdeithasol y gadwyn gyflenwi trwy ddull aml-randdeiliaid.
Mae hi'n cydweithio â phrifysgolion gwahanol yn fyd-eang, gan gynnwys Ysgol Fusnes Copenhagen, Ysgol Fusnes Kedge, Ysgol Fusnes Montpellier, Prifysgol Johannesburg, Prifysgol Jindal Global University, Prifysgol Strathclyde ac Ysgol Fusnes Bayes. Fe'i penodwyd yn Athro Cyswllt Gwadd yn yr Adran Drafnidiaeth a Rheoli Cadwyn Gyflenwi, a Phrifysgol Johannesburg o fis Medi 2022.
