Mae gennyf ddiddordeb mewn cadwraeth planhigion a pheillwyr, ac mewn archwilio’r rhyngweithiadau rhyngddynt. Roedd fy ymchwil PhD gyda Gardd Fotaneg Genedlaethol Cymru a Phrifysgol Bangor yn archwilio dewisiadau chwilota gwenyn mêl gan ddefnyddio codau metabar DNA, ac yn edrych ar newidiadau chwilota ar lefel y dirwedd. Rwy’n cyfrannu at feysydd ymchwil parhaus yr Ardd Fotaneg, gan gynorthwyo’r tîm i gynnal hyfforddiant labordy a dadansoddi data.
