Trosolwg

Mae Dr Hywel Turner Evans yn Uwch-Wyddonydd Data ac Arweinydd Cymorth i Ddefnyddwyr yn Banc Data SAIL (Secure Anonymised Information Linkage Databank). Mae gan Hywel brofiad o gefnogi ymchwil sy'n cysylltu a dadansoddi data gweinyddol ar raddfa'r boblogaeth, gan gynnwys data iechyd, cyfiawnder troseddol, a gofal cymdeithasol plant.

Mae'n arwain tîm Gwasanaethau Cefnogi Data a Defnyddwyr (UDSS), gan ddarparu cyfeiriad strategol a rheoli darpariaeth gwasanaethau ymchwil sy'n ddefnyddio data poblogaeth gysylltiedig.
