Mae Jude yn Uwch Ddarlithydd mewn Peirianneg Sifil ym Mhrifysgol Abertawe. Gwnaeth ei astudiaethau israddedig yng Nghyfadran Peirianneg a Dylunio y Sefydliad Technoleg, Sligo (Iwerddon), ac yno hefyd y cwblhaodd ei PhD "An Investigation of Pullout Behaviour of Geosynthetics in Marginal Fills".

Yn dilyn cyfnod yn gweithio fel peiriannydd safle a thirfesurwr, bu Jude yn ddarlithydd mewn amryw o sefydliadau yn Iwerddon cyn ymuno â Phrifysgol Abertawe yn 2014.

Mae Jude yn credu'n gryf mewn ymgorffori cydweithredu diwydiannol yn y byd academaidd ac mae bob amser yn ddiwyd yn creu cyfleoedd i fyfyrwyr gyfarfod a gweithio gyda pheirianwyr ac yn cynllunio nifer o ymweliadau safle, sgyrsiau cyflogwyr a phartneriaethau prosiect ymchwil.

EG-121 Surveying and Introductory Highways Design

This module introduces construction and geometric design of highways, such as the hierarchy of roads, design speed selection and the horizontal and vertical alignment of such roads. The module also covers most aspects of land surveying, from basic methods to those involving modern technologies, with a particular focus on how that relates to road design and construction. Aspects of sustainability in highway design and health and safety consideration in surveying activities will be covered. This module includes a field trip to be held in May 2024.
EG-154 Conceptual Design and Analysis Practice

This 30 credit module spans TB1 and TB2 and addresses the topic of Conceptual Design and Analysis in the context of Civil Engineering. Teaching will combine conventional lecture sessions, computer lab work, example classes and practical design, build and test, groupwork and presentation. The module brings together the principals and practice of graphical communication (hand sketching, engineering drawing and computer modelling), civil engineering concept development, structural analysis, an understanding of the use of key civil engineering materials (eg Steel, Concrete, Timber, Masonry) and the preliminary sizing of structural elements in accordance with Eurocodes as part of the Conceptual Design development process. We link to learning from modules Engineering Mechanics and Strength of Materials, reinforcing understanding of structural analysis and building skills in sketching internal force diagrams without going through step-by-step calculations. The axial force in truss structures, as well as the shear force and bending moment diagrams in continuous beams and frames, are the principal structural analysis skills developed here. We also develop further engineering knowledge of key skills, such as the analysis of statically determinate structures in Civil Engineering.
EG-2000 Geomechanics I

Geomechanics is the study of the mechanical behaviour of geological material, namely rocks and soils. The understanding of these concepts is crucial owing to the importance of these materials in the stability of supported structures. This 20 credit module, spanning both TB1 and TB2, introduces the fundamental theory associated with the mechanical properties of both forms of geological material. On completion of this module, the student will be prepared to look at further advanced topics in Geomechanics II.
EG-223 Basic Soil Mechanics

Soil mechanics is the study of the mechanical behaviour of soils, one of the key building materials in construction of almost all structures. The understanding of these concepts is crucial owing to the importance of these materials in the stability of supported structures. On completion of this module, the student will be prepared to look at further advanced topics in EG-321 Geomechanics II.
EG-257 Highway Design and Surveying

This module introduces construction and geometric design of highways, such as the hierarchy of roads, design speed selection and the horizontal and vertical alignment of such roads. The module also covers most aspects of land surveying, from basic methods to those involving modern technologies, with a particular focus on how that relates to road design and construction. Aspects of sustainability in highway design and health and safety consideration in surveying activities will be covered.
GEL200 Introductory Geology for Engineers

This module is an introduction to geology aimed particularly at the needs of civil engineers. The module comprises three sections, covering geological materials - minerals and rocks; distribution of rocks through geological maps and their interpretation; and engineering geology. Lectures are supported by practical work. The module assumes no prior knowledge of geology.
