Dr Alvin Orbaek White (Dr Orb) sefydlwr a Phrif Swyddog Gweithredol TrimTabs Ltd a bellach yn Athro Cysylltiol Anrhydeddus . Symudodd i'r Sefydliad Ymchwil Diogelwch Ynni (ESRI) o Sefydliad Technoleg Massachusetts (Cambridge, MA, UDA) Adran Peirianneg Fecanyddol gan ennill PhD mewn Cemeg o Brifysgol Rice (Houston, TX, UDA). Mae Alvin yn arbenigo mewn integreiddio atebion tuag at alw a chyflenwad ynni cynaliadwy.

Ei nod yw effeithio ar yr amgylchedd yn lleol ac yn fyd-eang mewn dwy ffordd:

Gwella'r seilwaith ynni gan ddefnyddio nanodiwbiau carbon i drawsyrru trydan

Troi gwastraff carbon yn gynhyrchion gwerth uwch fel nanodiwbiau carbon.

Nid her dechnegol yn unig yw diogelwch ynni byd-eang oherwydd rhaid i ddiogelwch hirdymor mewn cymdeithas gytbwys hefyd gyfrif am yr elfen ddynol, pobl. Dylai fod gan bawb fynediad parod at dechnolegau sydd eu hangen a chyfleoedd i dyfu a ffynnu hyd eithaf eu gallu dynol. Ar lefel unigol, mae Alvin yn gweithio i greu amgylchedd dysgu cynhwysol a deinamig yn ei ystafelloedd dosbarth (yn bersonol a rhithwir) i sicrhau twf ei fyfyrwyr i fynd y tu hwnt i'w addysgu. Mae’n gweithredu fel aelod o Fwrdd Rhwydwaith Pobl Dduon a Lleiafrifoedd Ethnig (BAME) Prifysgol Abertawe i ysgogi twf o fewn y Brifysgol a menter Academaidd; gyda nodau a gobeithion i ddod â chyfle cyfartal i'r holl fyfyrwyr a staff waeth beth fo'u cefndir.

Alvin hefyd yw sylfaenydd TrimTabs Ltd, cwmni technoleg sy'n ymroddedig i ddatrys problemau byd-eang gyda'r effaith fwyaf. Crëwyd TrimTabs i fasnacheiddio technoleg a ddatblygodd Alvin a all drosi plastigion yn gydrannau trydanol.

Gellir dod o hyd i ddiweddariadau pellach ar ei waith a'i effaith ynghyd â CV wedi'i ddiweddaru ar sail dreigl ar ei wefan bersonol.

TROI PLASTIGAU GWASTRAFF YN WIFRAU TRYDAN

Arddangosfa gyhoeddus o fis Hydref 2019 tan 15 Ebrill 2020

Amgueddfa Genedlaethol y Glannau, Abertawe

Dechreuodd y prosiect hwn ym Mhrifysgol Abertawe ac mae'n edrych ar sut i droi plastig gwastraff yn ddeunyddiau defnyddiadwy eraill fel nanodiwbiau carbon, graffîn a ffibr carbon.

Rydym yn datblygu ffyrdd mwy effeithlon o oleuo a gwresogi ein cartrefi. Rydym yn bwriadu lleihau'r ynni sy'n cael ei golli wrth drawsyrru drwy ddefnyddio gwifrau nanodiwb carbon arbennig. Mae'r nanodiwbiau hyn yn cael eu gwneud o bethau fel ffilm blastig denau, pecynnu bwyd plastig du a thoddyddion hylif. Does dim modd ailgylchu'r rhain i gyd yn ein sbwriel cartref.

I weld mwy o fanylion am y wyddoniaeth y tu ôl i'r dechnoleg hon, gwyliwch y daith fideo hon o grŵp ymchwil Dr Orb.

Mae rhagor o fanylion a’r newyddion diweddaraf ar gael yma: http://www.esri-swansea.org/en/from-bin-to-bulb.htm

TRI GWYDDONYDD O BRIFYSGOL ABERTAWE YN GADAEL MEINCIAU'R LABORDY AM Y MEINCIAU CEFN SENEDDOL

Tynnodd tri gwyddonydd o Brifysgol Abertawe eu cotiau labordy er mwyn troi eu sylw at ddeddfwriaeth pan wnaethant dreulio wythnos yn San Steffan yn nau Dŷ'r Senedd a Whitehall.

Roedd yr ymweliad, a gynhaliwyd fis diwethaf, yn rhan o gynllun paru unigryw gan y Gymdeithas Frenhinol – Academi Wyddoniaeth Genedlaethol y DU – gyda chymorth gan Swyddfa Wyddoniaeth y Llywodraeth.

Roedd Dr Enrico Andreoli, athro cyswllt yn Sefydliad Ymchwil Diogelwch Ynni (ESRI) y Brifysgol, un o'i gydweithwyr, sef yr uwch-ddarlithydd Dr Alvin Orbaek White (ESRI), a Dr James Cronin, athro cyswllt gwyddorau biofeddygol yn Ysgol Feddygaeth Prifysgol Abertawe, ymysg dim ond 30 o academyddion yn y DU a etholwyd i fod yn bresennol.

Roedd pob un ohonynt yn cael cyfle i gysgodi Aelod Seneddol neu was sifil i ddysgu am waith y rhain, yn ogystal â mynd i seminarau, gwrandawiadau ffug gan Bwyllgorau Dethol a thrafodaethau panel ynghylch sut defnyddir tystiolaeth i lunio polisïau.

Mae'r tri ohonynt yn aelodau o Impackt, sef sefydliad amlddisgyblaethol a sefydlwyd gan Dr Andreoli a Dr Cronin ac a arweinir gan Dr Dion Curry sy'n ceisio dod ag academyddion, diwydiant a'r rhai sy'n llunio polisïau at ei gilydd er mwyn gwella'r effaith y mae ymchwil yn ei chael ar y gymdeithas ehangach.

Yn y cyfamser, cafodd Dr Orbaek White ei baru â gwas sifil yn yr Awdurdod Seilwaith a Phrosiectau (IPA), sydd wedi'i leoli rhwng Swyddfa'r Cabinet a'r Trysorlys. Meddai: “Cefais sawl cyfarfod â'r staff sy'n ymdrin â'r gwaith o gyflawni carbon sero net a datgarboneiddio erbyn 2050. Roedd pob un o'r cyfarfodydd yn hynod ddadlennol."
