Rwy'n defnyddio gwyddorau gwybodaeth ddaearyddol (GIS) i gyfrannu at reoli trychinebau, rhagchwilio daeargryn, asesiad bregusrwydd gofodol, rheoli dŵr ac ansicrwydd bwyd. Ar hyn o bryd, rwy'n defnyddio technegau prosesu iaith naturiol (NLP): dadansoddiad sentiment (SA) a dadansoddi pwnc, i werthuso adferiad ôl-drychineb ac ymateb brys ar ôl daeargrynfeydd, gan gasglu data o'r cyfryngau cymdeithasol: Twitter ac Instagram a'r platfform torfoli: Ap LastQuake. Cyn i mi weithio ar ddatblygu gweithgareddau Llwydnig sy'n canolbwyntio ar ddysgu am gyfnodau adfer ar ôl trychineb a dulliau cyfranogol i archwilio strategaethau addasu newid yn yr hinsawdd ar gyfer cymunedau y mae'r sychder yn effeithio arnynt.

Rwyf wedi bod yn Ddarlithydd mewn Gwyddoniaeth Geo-ofodol yn Ysgol Gwyddorau'r Ddaear a'r Amgylchedd yng Ngholeg y Gwyddorau Ffisegol a Pheirianneg ers 2021. Rwy'n arwain y modiwl: Systemau Gwybodaeth Ddaearyddol (GIS), mapiau a sgiliau dadansoddi (EA1303), gan gynnwys synhwyro o bell (RS), daearyddiaeth, geowyddorau, a geoystadegau. Rwy'n dysgu GIS yn semester yr hydref ar gyfer myfyrwyr blwyddyn un (B1) daearyddiaeth ffisegol, daearyddiaeth amgylcheddol, geowyddorau, daeareg a daearyddiaeth forol gan ddefnyddio ArcGIS Pro. Rwy'n Ddarlithydd ar gyfer y rhaglen Meistr (MSC) mewn Peryglon Amgylcheddol ar y modiwl Asesu Risg (EAT406): 'Amlygiad a bregusrwydd', 'Bregusrwydd corfforol' a 'bregusrwydd cymdeithasol'. Rwyf hefyd yn addysgu: 'Cyfathrebu, perygl a risg' ac 'Offer a thechnolegau ar gyfer mapio risg' ar gyfer myfyrwyr blwyddyn tri (Bl3) ar y modiwl: Perygl, Risg a Gwydnwch (EA3327).

Rwyf hefyd yn gynghorydd ar ddadansoddiad GIS ar gyfer traethawd hir myfyrwyr baglor yn y cyrsiau a grybwyllwyd yn flaenorol. Rwy'n goruchwylio traethodau hir Baglor a Meistr ac yn cefnogi trefnu a gweithredu gwaith maes Y1 a Y2 mewn Daearyddiaeth (sgiliau maes Daearyddiaeth EA1305). Rwyf hefyd yn diwtor i fyfyrwyr Bl1, Bl2 a Bl3. Cyn hynny roeddwn yn ddarlithydd gwadd ym Mhrifysgol Valparaiso (Chile), Prifysgol Dechnegol Kenya, Coleg y Brenin Llundain (y Deyrnas Unedig), Prifysgol Newcastle (DU) a Phrifysgol Salzburg (Awstria). Rhwng 2012 a 2017, roeddwn yn Ddarlithydd ar-lein yn UNIGIS America Ladin, rhaglen Meistr mewn GIS a addysgir ar y cyd gan Brifysgol Salzburg a Phrifysgol San Francisco de Quito (Ecuador). Dysgais y modiwl: GIS, mapiau a sgiliau dadansoddi.

I am Lecturer in Geospatial Science at the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences in the College of Physical Sciences and Engineering since 2021. I am in charge of teaching the module: GIS, maps and analytical skills.I am a member of the Management Committee of the Earthquake Engineering Field Investigation Team (EEFIT), leading the sub-committee on Training. Currently, I am a visiting researcher at Newcastle University, where I hold the position of Research Associate for the project: 'Learning from earthquakes: building resilient communities through earthquake reconnaissance, response and recovery.

Between 2018 and 2019, I worked at the Research Centre for Integrated Disaster Risk Management (CIGIDEN) in Santiago (Chile). In this period, I worked on the project: 'Social vulnerability to natural hazards and dependence to critical urban infrastructure: a spatial model for the healthcare system in Santiago, Chile'. In the same year, I was an external consultant for CARITAS Switzerland for the Climate change adaptation (CCA), food (in)security, water resource management and disaster risk reduction (DRR) project in La Guajira, Colombia. After completed my Doctoral studies, I worked as Team Leader of the Social Vulnerability and Resilience (SVR) group at the Global Earthquake Model (GEM) Foundation in Pavia (Italy). Parallel to my doctoral studies, I worked at the Interfaculty Department for Geoinformatics Z_GIS from the University of Salzburg (Austria) in MOVE, a project to improve the methods for the vulnerability assessment to natural hazards in Europe based on indicators. When the project finished, I started working for UNIGIS Latin America (an online Master's program in GIS run jointly by the University of Salzburg and la Universidad San Francisco de Quito - Ecuador), teaching the module: 'GIS, risk and disasters'. In Colombia, I worked at the Institute of Risk Management and Climate Change (IDIGER) as a Project manager assistant of preparedness, emergency response and disaster prevention.

I am a Doctor (PhD) in Natural Sciences – Applied Geoinformatics from the University of Salzburg (Austria). Before starting my doctoral studies, I completed a Master of Science in Geoinformation Science and Earth Observation, Specialisation: Urban Planning and Management at the Faculty of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC) at the University of Twente in The Netherlands. I received a Graduate Diploma in the Evaluation of Risk and Disaster Prevention offered by the Universidad de Los Andes (Colombia). My Bachelor's degree in Architecture was awarded by la Universidad Nacional de Colombia.
