Yn ddiweddar penodwyd Dr Sumati Bhatia yn Uwch-ddarlithydd gan arbenigo mewn Cemeg Fio-facromoleciwlaidd a Glyco-ddeunyddiau. Mae ei harbenigedd ym maes creu glyco-ddeunyddiau at ddiben gwrthsefyll pathogenau amrywiol. Yn nodedig, mae hi wedi llwyddo i ddatblygu glyco-ddeunyddiau sy'n targedu sbectrwm o bathogenau, gan gynnwys firysau Ffliw A, Syndrom Anadlu Acíwt Difrifol Coronafeirws 2, feirws Herpes Simplex, coli Escherichia a Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Mae ei chofnod cyhoeddi'n cynnwys dros 40 o erthyglau ymchwil a 7 o geisiadau patent. Trwy gydol ei gyrfa mae Sumati wedi cydweithio'n agos â biolegwyr heintiau, firolegwyr, bioffisegwyr a mircrobiolegwyr o fri. Mae ei gwaith arloesol wedi'i gydnabod mewn cyfnodolion gwyddonol blaenllaw, gan gynnwys Journal of the American Chemical Society, Angewandte Chemie Int. Ed., Nano Letters, Biomaterials, Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, Advanced Material Interfaces, a llawer eraill. Mae hi'n chwarae rôl weithgar mewn ymchwil gydweithredol ar y cyd â grwpiau ymchwil blaenllaw ledled y byd, gan feithrin partneriaethau yn yr Almaen, y DU, UDA, Ffrainc, Sbaen, Mecsico ac India. Prif amcan ymchwil Sumati yw datblygu offer synthetig glyco-seiliedig er mwyn cael mewnwelediad arbrofol i brosesau sy'n gysylltiedig â heintiau. Mae hi'n croesawu cydweithrediadau rhyngddisgyblaethol wrth gydlifiad cemeg, bioleg, ffiseg a thechnolegau arloesol megis AI a Dysgu Peirianyddol.

Modiwlau a Addysgir

CH-127 Chemical Practice

This module will introduce students to the three broad employment areas for chemistry: research, teaching or industrial positions. The lecture portion will cover fundamental aspects of being a professional chemist including safety, report writing, project management, and teaching skills. Students will attend research seminars and workshops, industrial field trips, and supervise school pupils in the laboratory. Assessment will be by coursework and a written report.
CH-239 Biological and Medicinal Chemistry

This module will introduce students to the sub-disciplines of biological and medicinal chemistry. It will build on core material taught in the first year and semester 1 of the second year. An introduction to primary and specialised metabolism will be given, demonstrating that biological reactions obey the same laws as synthetic organic chemistry. Enzymes will be introduced as the key catalysts within biological chemistry. Students will also be given an overview of key concepts and strategies in medicinal chemistry, including pharmacological considerations. By the end of the module students will be equipped with the core tools to understand and study bio-organic reactions, and will have an appreciation of medicinal chemistry. Material, techniques and skills covered in the course of this module will build on and therefore require understanding of all prior modules. The module will be assessed by coursework (a presentation, laboratory experiments, laboratory report and assignments) and by examination.
CH-300 Advanced Topics in Organic, Biological and Medicinal Chemistry

This module will give students a high-level understanding of organic and medicinal (pharmaceutical) chemistry. Students will gain deeper appreciation of mechanistic considerations in organic chemistry, and will broaden their knowledge of synthetic methods, particularly those involving main group elements and transition metals. Key contemporary methods in organic chemistry will be studied. The module will build on the organic chemistry knowledge acquired in the previous year. By the end of the module, students will have a comprehensive grounding in organic and medicinal chemistry, and will be able to design or predict complicated synthetic routes, evaluate the outcomes and predict/analyse structures using a variety of spectroscopic methods.
CH-344 Chemistry Project

3rd year projects are the opportunity to bring all you've learnt during your degree together and apply that knowledge to solve a problem. In Swansea these projects can be embedded in active research groups across the colleges of science, engineering or medicine, allowing you to build a network and experience in your chosen specialism within the chemical sciences. These projects are your opportunity to demonstrate to employers that you have a full understanding of your course and are able to direct your own studies, manage an independent research project and effectively communicate your findings. This selection suggests an interest in a project embedded within a research group in engineering, focusing on materials chemistry or chemical engineering
CH-349 Integrated Topics in Chemistry

This module gives students the opportunity to explore options within Chemistry, giving opportunity to apply prior learning to advanced research topics and allowing students to pursue more specialised topics related to their research interests and aligned with the research areas represented within the Department. Study areas available will include advanced spectroscopic techniques, the application of instrumentation in chemistry, as well as more advanced synthetic pathways and a return to more integrated study of the traditional branches of organic/inorganic/physical chemistry. The module will also include a mandatory employability component. Classes will be supported with workshops which will help students gain a thorough understanding of the integrated nature of Chemistry at an advanced level. Where possible, topics will be taught using relevant examples from primary literature, encouraging students to evaluate and appraise a range of primary literature sources and locate appropriate new sources. The module is designed to be flexible to allow the content to vary with the research areas represented within the Department and wider university.
CH-409 MChem Research Project

MChem projects are the defining feature of the integrated masters with a chance to contribute research work of potentially publishable standard to an active research group within the University. In Swansea these projects can be embedded in active research groups across the Faculty of Science and Engineering or the Faculty of Medicine, Health and Life Science, allowing you to build a network and experience in your chosen specialism within the chemical sciences. These projects are an excellent way of managing the transition on to your next destination after undergraduate study, whether that is a postgraduate research studentship or into employment. The skills developed in the MChem projects demonstrate the ability to successfully deliver all aspects of a 60 credit research project and on exit you will have demonstrated the academic equivalence and begun developing the other skills required for entry into professional development schemes leading to chartership. This selection suggests an interest in a project embedded within a research group in science, focusing on straight chemistry, or interacting and collaborating with another department such as bioscience, geography, physics, maths or computer science.
