Rydw i’n academydd sydd wrth fy modd gyda deunyddiau electronig lled-ddargludyddion cyfansawdd bandgap llydan (silicon carbid, galiwm ocsid a galiwm nitrid).

Ar ôl gweithio ym maes electroneg a dyfeisiau pŵer silicon carbid ers 2003, fy mhrif ddiddordeb yw ymchwilio i’r posibilrwydd o weithgynhyrchu’r dechnoleg hon drwy rwydwaith eang o bartneriaid diwydiannol.

Yn ddiweddar, rydw i wedi ymgymryd â nifer o brosiectau ymchwil o fewn maes bandgap gor-lydan galiwm ocsid ar gyfer defnydd electroneg pŵer. Yma, rydw i’n ceisio archwilio i ddichonolrwydd y deunydd newydd hwn o bersbectif masnachol (y cynnyrch).

EG-143 Digital Design

To introduce the fundamentals of logic design methods and, implement, test and compare these designs using simulators. Students who are re-sitting, please note, this module has been re-designed to use a fully blended-learning approach.
EG-3080 Engineering Management (Aero, EEE, Mech)

The goal of this course is to provide the skills for professional engineers to meet the challenges of their future careers, whether they be in academia, industry, or as an entrepreneur. Irrespective of future careers engineers will be involved in projects, management and business organisations and an awareness of these issues is important for all team members. It should be recognized that the topics included in the course are not limited to scientists and engineers, they are useful for people in any careers. This course is not aimed at making you a certified project manager, but to provide the skills that will allow you to be a more effective project team member and also when you start to take on the role of project manager. With respect to business management aspects, the course will cover the basic concept of entrepreneurship before breaking down the essential elements of a business plan. The course will give the more entrepreneurial students guidance about how to go about commercialising their ideas and the less entrepreneurial students an understanding of what makes some of their colleagues tick. The learn by example approach adopted for this module guides the student through the complexities of financial and human resource management and encourages students to develop their own business plans. Students will also be introduced to the subject area of ethics, liability and responsibilities within business. This module will also provide support on careers services with students creating CVs and Linked-In accounts.
EGLM00 Power Semiconductor Devices

Power semiconductor technology is a key enabling technology leading to more efficient power conversion. Historically, the development of electronic power devices can be traced to the early 1950s when thyristors capable of operating at high current and voltages were introduced. In the years to come, the most important development has been the introduction of power devices with high-input-impedance gate such as VDMOSFETs and IGBTs. This allowed a large reduction in system size and cost, leading to many new application for power electronics in domestic appliances and automotive and aviation electronics, for example.
