Mae Steve yn wyddonydd chwaraeon sydd â diddordebau addysgu ac ymchwil eang ac arbenigedd mewn perfformiad chwaraeon, ffitrwydd corfforol, Addysg Gorfforol, hyfforddi, materion mesur, dylunio ymchwil, biostatistics cymhwysol a dadansoddi data. Mae'n Gymrawd etholedig o'r Gymdeithas Ystadegol Frenhinol ac mae'n Gymrawd yr Academi Addysg Uwch. Mae hefyd yn Aelod o'r Ganolfan Ragoriaeth Genedlaethol mewn Addysgu Mathemateg. Mae diddordebau addysgu ac ymchwil Steve yn canolbwyntio'n fras ar ymchwilio, dadansoddi a modelu data a gofnodwyd yn y gwyddorau chwaraeon, ymarfer corff, hyfforddi a iechyd ac maent yn cynnwys: i) ymchwilio i'r perthnasoedd rhwng data perfformiad ffisiolegol a chwaraeon a maint y corff (graddio), ii) graddio mynegeion iechyd a pherfformiad pobl ifanc a phlant, iii) auxology, gan ei fod yn ymwneud â pherfformiad chwaraeon a ffitrwydd corfforol, iv) androgyny physique mewn dynion a menywod chwaraeon, v) patrwm braster mewn chwaraewyr gemau, a, vi) y perthnasoedd rhwng geneteg, cyfansoddiad y corff a phwer mewn chwaraewyr gemau. Mae Steve wedi adolygu llawysgrifau a gyflwynwyd i'w cyhoeddi mewn llawer o gyfnodolion, ac mae ganddo hefyd brofiad helaeth o ran datblygu rhaglenni a modiwlau yn ogystal ag archwilio rhaglenni a addysgir a graddau ymchwil ym Mhrifysgol Metropolitan Caerdydd a thu hwnt. Mae Steve hefyd yn aelod o Banel Cynghori Golygyddol y Journal of Sport Sciences (Adran Perfformiad Chwaraeon) ac mae'n aelod o'r Panel Cynghori Ystadegau ar gyfer y British Medical Journal (Open).

Ymchwil / Cyhoeddiadau

Mae diddordebau ymchwil sylfaenol cyfredol Steve yn cynnwys dibynadwyedd, cywirdeb a manwl gywirdeb profion ac offerynnau mesur a ddefnyddir i asesu agweddau ar ffitrwydd corfforol a pherfformiad chwaraeon athletwr. Elfen allweddol o hyn yw'r archwiliad beirniadol o'r dulliau ystadegol mwyaf priodol ar gyfer cymharu dulliau a astudiaethau dilysrwydd. Mae hefyd yn ymwneud ag ymchwilio i ddylanwad maint corff ar berfformiad chwaraeon a sut orau i addasu data perfformiad i hwyluso'r gymhariaeth gywir o unigolion a grwpiau. Mae gan Steve ddiddordeb dwfn hefyd mewn hyrwyddo archwilio trawsnewidiadau data a'r ystyriaeth ehangach o fodelau nad ydynt yn baramedrig wrth ddatrys rhai o'r materion dadansoddi data y deuir ar eu traws yn y gwyddorau chwaraeon, ymarfer corff, hyfforddi a iechyd.
