Trosolwg

Yr Athro Matthew Davies yw Cadeirydd UNESCO ar gyfer Technolegau Ynni Cynaliadwy, Pennaeth y Grŵp Ffotocemeg Gymhwysol ac mae'n rhan o Uwch-dîm Rheoli Canolfan Arloesi a Gwybodaeth SPECIFIC. Mae ef hefyd yn aelod o'r Adran Gwyddor Deunyddiau a Pheirianneg a'r Adran Peirianneg Gemegol ym Mhrifysgol Abertawe.

Ef yw Llywydd Cyngor Cymuned yr Amgylchedd, Cynaliadwyedd ac Ynni y Gymdeithas Gemeg Frenhinol ac mae'n Athro er Anrhydedd ym Mhrifysgol KwaZulu-Natal yn Durban, De Affrica.

Mae ei ymchwil yn canolbwyntio ar ffotocemeg deunyddiau sy'n ddefnyddiol ar gyfer cymwysiadau ffotofoltäig rhad, gyda'r nod o wella sefydlogrwydd, cynaliadwyedd, effeithlonrwydd cynaeafu golau a pherfformiad. Mae ei ymchwil yn canolbwyntio'n bennaf ar ffotofoltäig perofsgit ac mae ganddo ddiddordeb penodol mewn nodweddu dyfeisiau sydd wedi'u hail-weithgynhyrchu a datblygu deunyddiau a phrosesau i alluogi ail-ddefnyddio ac ail-weithgynhyrchu mewn economi gylchol. Mae'r Athro Davies yn credu'n gryf bod angen cael mynediad at ynni cynaliadwy ac adnewyddadwy er mwyn cyflawni llawer o'r Nodau Datblygu Cynaliadwy, gan ymestyn ymhell y tu hwnt i'r sector ynni, a bod gan dechnolegau ynni adnewyddadwy sy'n gweithredu o fewn economi gylchol y potensial i fwyafu manteision cymdeithasol, iechyd, addysgol ac amgylcheddol.

EG-D10 Team Project & Individual Dissertation

The module is where this program ultimately culminates with the final development stages and realisation of a team based project (as defined at the recruitment stage) with individual aspects considered and assessed as a final dissertation submission. The nature of the dissertation will be dependent on the nature of the specialisation of the participant. During the period of this module, a preparatory period will be followed by participants spending (or utilising remote engineering techniques) a period of circa. 3 weeks in-country delivering the project, with support from academic team leads and other supporting staff, stakeholders or collaborators. This will be concluded with a debrief and final dissertation writing period.

EGCM01 MSc Research Practice

A Masters level course to deliver knowledge and skills on how to write and submit scientific papers and reports. The course requires that the students prepare multiple reports focused on specific aspects involved in preparing a draft publication of journal quality. Research data is gathered and, subject to suitable data analysis, is used to write a draft publication. In addition to this, a graphical abstract for a highly cited paper in a relevant chosen field needs to be prepared, as does a letter to an editor. For the paper writing, data is gathered from laboratory-based work and the students must analyse the data and write up the results as a suitable manuscript. They must make a reasoned choice of journal; then follow the format required by that specified journal and its instructions. They must present results appropriately and of the correct quality and then describe and discuss these. The students must also prepare a substantial literature survey (up to 5000 words) on a topic in chemical or biochemical engineering. The course is designed as such so there are multiple smaller assignments prior to the substantial literature review so students can learn and improve through the duration of the course.

EGSM36 Circular Economy and Sustainable Engineering Technologies

This module will provide fundamental knowledge on renewable energy technologies including wind, solar, biomass and discuss the need for clean storage of energy. It will outline the current trends of deployment and renewable generation, the state of the climate and progress towards net zero. It will detail the need for a holistic and inclusive approach to mitigate the current climate crisis and developing the correct technological solutions for a given country/environment. It will detail the linear vs circular economy and the importance of the circular economy in sustainable development. The module has been designed to promote the role of circular economy and sustainable engineering within industry, commerce, and society. It will equip graduates with the knowledge and skills to help industry and commerce to reduce their environmental impacts and support the objectives of sustainable development.
