Xiaoxu Diao works on risk and reliability analysis for complex safety-critical systems, particularly nuclear power plants and electric grids. Their work covers topics like software and instrumentation reliability, cybersecurity risk modeling, fault detection, and human reliability under physical security threats, often combining computational modeling with experimental validation. Much of the research aims to help predict, detect, and analyze failures in engineered systems before they cause real-world harm.
