About me
This is Xingyu Zhao (phonetically, Sing-You Jaw, if this was easier…).
I am an Assistant Professor in Safety-Critical Systems at the Verification and Validation Group, Intelligent Vehicles, WMG, University of Warwick.
I am also a honorary researcher at the Computer Science Department of the University of Liverpool, a Programme Fellow of the Assuring Autonomy International Programme (AAIP), and Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA).
Before joining Warwick, I was a Lecturer in AI at the University of Liverpool and a PDRA at Heriot-Watt University. I received both my Bachelor and Master degrees from Beihang University. I joined the Centre for Software Reliability, City, University of London and obtained a doctorate degree in Computer Science under the supervision of Professor Bev Littlewood and Professor Robin Bloomfield.
My research interests include (a growing list…):
Probabilistic verification of autonomous systems.
Bayesian statistical inference (esp. with partial/vague prior knowledge).
Software reliability assessment and safety assurance.
Trustworthy and Explainable AI.
Modeling of software design diversity for fault tolerance.
