Trosolwg

Ar hyn o bryd, diddordebau ymchwil Dr Williams yw biomecaneg trawiadau'r pen mewn chwaraeon cyswllt, gyda ffocws penodol ar athletwyr benywaidd a rygbi’r undeb. Mae prosiectau presennol yn cynnwys meintoli maint trawiadau i'r pen gan ddefnyddio gwarchodwyr y geg a addasir er mwyn datblygu strategaethau hyfforddi effeithiol i hyrwyddo lles athletwyr. Elisabeth yw cyd-sylfaenydd rhwydwaith ymchwil anafiadau trawmatig y pen a phrif ymchwilydd Arolwg Byd-eang Undeb Rygbi Merched, a gafodd bron 2000 o ymatebion o 62 gwlad, mewn naw iaith. Dr Williams oedd yr arweinydd gwyddonol wrth ddatblygu gwarchodwr y geg a addasir ar gyfer rygbi'r undeb, sydd erbyn hyn yn cael ei fasnachu. Mae ei chefndir ymchwil ym maes ymchwil gwyddonol fforensig, gan ganolbwyntio ar agweddau biofecanyddol ailadeiladu golygfeydd trosedd mewn perthynas â dadansoddi patrymau staenau gwaed.

EG-238 Experimental Studies for Medical Engineers

The course introduces the students to experimental studies in a wide range of subjects. Each experiment is self contained and the student will present the findings in written form through a lab report which will have a set of experiment specific questions to answer. This written report also forms the basis for the assessment. All students work in groups and carry out five experiments which vary according to discipline, however the assignments are all individually submitted. The students keep a log-book of the experimental observations and results, which is used for reference for the technical report from each experiment written-up in the week after the experiment.
SR-142 Introduction to Biomechanics 1

The purpose of the module is to introduce and develop knowledge and understanding of the fundamental mechanical concepts and principles that underlie human movement. The module introduces the study of kinematics.
SR-254 Technology and Innovation in Injury Mechanics

Students will gain a conceptual understanding of tissue adaptation to external load, the mechanics of injury for various human movements and how to measure relevant biomechanical parameters, with a focus on human gait. Students will gain practical skills in the operation of lab-based and wearable technology motion analysis systems. Students will develop critical evaluation skills to assess the validity of wearable technology systems used in motion analysis.
