Mae Fatemeh Torabi yn Swyddog Ymchwil a Dadansoddwr Data ym Mhrifysgol Abertawe, Ymchwil Data Iechyd y DU (HDR-UK) Cymru a Gogledd Iwerddon ac yn Gymrawd Cymdeithas Frenhinol Ystadegau. Mae ei chefndir yn y maes ystadegau mathemategol a gwyddor data iechyd. Cyn ymuno â HDR UK, aeth ati i ddatblygu prosiectau amrywiol yn Hyb Deallusrwydd Gofal Iechyd Darbodus, fel rhan o Sefydliad Farr. Mae ei diddordebau ymchwil yn cwmpasu dulliau dadansoddol a chyfrifiannol newydd ar gyfer casgliadau ystadegol mewn data paneli ac iechyd y boblogaeth. Ar hyn o bryd mae’n canolbwyntio ar ddefnyddio data iechyd ar raddfa fawr fel rhan o raglen Ymchwil Data Cardiaidd.

PM-271 Population Health & The Art of Research 2

This module builds upon PM-269 Population Health and the art of research 1 and is designed to provide students with the opportunity to further develop their research skills by undertaking data analysis and interpretation of the results of a small-scale research study. Students will also gain an insight into the mechanisms through which research findings can be disseminated to the scientific community, and the importance of engaging the public in research.
PMI602 Advanced Analysis of Linked Health Data

This module is taught at an intermediate to advanced level and assumes that students have completed PMIM302 Introductory Analysis of Linked Health Data or have equivalent knowledge. Advanced principles of health care epidemiology are combined with hands-on practical exercises in the implementation of computing solutions. The module provides students with a theoretical grounding on each topic, followed by a training session on the corresponding computing solutions. Students use de-identified data files in the hands-on exercises. The computing component of the module assumes a basic competence in the preparation of computing syntax for programs such as SPSS, SAS, STATA or R and familiarity with the statistical analysis of linked data files at an introductory to intermediate level. The main lecturer will be Professors David Preen of the University of Western Australia. The module co-ordinator is Dr Peter Arnold.
