Research interests
My research interests lie in the field of trustworthy AI, machine learning, system dependability analysis, reliability centred maintenance (RCM) and intelligent maintenance. I am also interested in model-driving engineering (MDE), automated model transformations and its validation and verification.
Most recently I have been interested in establishing trustworthiness assessment framwork for the design, development and deployment of AI-based systems. This involves the assessment of AI bias, robustness, safety, fairness, explainability, ethicality and etc.
I am also interested in integrating state-of-the-art AI, IoT, Big Data, Blockchain and Digital Twins into the model-based dependability analysis field to obtain an intelligent dependability analysis and maintenance of systems.
Dr. Mian is actively looking for potential Ph.D. students, for informal inquiries, please contact him at z.mian2@hull.ac.uk.
