Diddordebau
Mae fy niddordebau ymchwil mewn prosesau gwybyddol, iechyd meddwl dynol a gwasanaethau iechyd meddwl. Rwy'n gweithio'n agos gyda chydweithwyr yn yr Ysgol Gwyddorau Iechyd a gwasanaethau iechyd meddwl yng Nghymru a De Orllewin Lloegr. Mae fy ymchwil cyfredol yn canolbwyntio ar dri maes, 1) y rhyngweithio rhwng emosiwn, prosesau gwybyddol gweithredol a diffygion dysgu cymhleth y tybir yn eang eu bod yn sail i sgitsoffrenia, 2) modelau o arddull ymlyniad oedolion a sut y gall y rhain lywio rheolaeth pobl mewn gofal iechyd meddwl diogel, 3) prosesau dysgu wrth gaffael gallu diagnostig gweledol.
