Dr Amelia Knowlson | Cymrawd Addysgu yn y Diwydiannau Creadigol | Prifysgol Leeds

Mae Amelia yn arbenigo mewn Astudiaethau Amgueddfeydd a Threftadaeth Ddigidol ac mae ei hymarfer a’i gwaith ymchwil yn canolbwyntio ar ddefnyddio technoleg ddigidol mewn sefydliadau creadigol a diwylliannol, yn arbennig felly amgueddfeydd. Mae gan Amelia dros 10 mlynedd o brofiad o weithio gyda/ar ran amgueddfeydd lleol a chenedlaethol, a hynny fel curadur a hefyd trwy gyfrwng ei chwmni ‘Curator – Designer – Maker’. Fel ymarferydd creadigol, mae ganddi brofiad blaenorol a helaeth o ddatblygu arddangosfeydd rhyngweithiol ffisegol, ymgynghori ynghylch defnyddio a gweithredu technoleg, a chyflwyno hyfforddiant i weithwyr proffesiynol mewn amgueddfeydd yn ymwneud â defnyddio a chymhwyso technoleg 3D a’r goblygiadau sydd ynghlwm wrth y dechnoleg honno.

Mae Amelia wedi gweithio gydag amgueddfeydd a sefydliadau diwylliannol, yn cynnwys Eglwys Gadeiriol Caerloyw, Amgueddfa Prydain, English Heritage, Tyne and Wear Archives and Museums, Dinas Diwylliant Hull ac Amgueddfeydd Sheffield. Mae hi’n parhau i gynorthwyo sefydliadau diwylliannol gyda hyfforddiant digidol, strategaethau digidol a gweithredu ac arbrofi gyda sganio ac argraffu 3D a realiti rhithwir ac estynedig.

Cred Amelia y dylai technoleg ddigidol fod yn hygyrch i bawb, ac mae’n rhoi defnyddwyr technoleg wrth galon a chraidd popeth a wna. Mae creu, chwarae ac ymarfer yn gwbl sylfaenol i’w gwaith ymarferol a strategol.
