Awel is a Reader in psychology at the School of Psychology and Sport Science, and as such is involved in many modules across all three years. She is currently the Module Organizer on two Year 1 interdisciplinary research methods modules that are delivered in Welsh. Awel is also the module organiser of a third-year module that focuses on the cross disciplinary topic of Neuroaesthetics, and is the lead for the psychology dissertation modules, all of which are delivered in both English and Welsh. 

Awel currently supervises undergraduate research projects investigating the broad topics of bilingualism, language use, language learning, and neuroaesthetics. 

Awel’s research mainly focuses on bilingualism. She is particularly interested in the way a bilingual’s languages interact, and uses a variety of research methods (including eyetracking and ERPs) in her research. Awel is also interested in the perception and appreciation of music and poetry.
