About

Dr Mali Abdollahian is an academic in the School of Science. Her research interests are mainly in the areas of statistical quality control and quality assurance and statistical modelling.

Mali received her Master in Applied Mathematics and Astronomy and PhD in Statistical Quality Control from University College Cardiff in the UK. Her research interests are mainly in the area of univariate and multivariate statistical quality control and quality assurance and statistical modelling, but also include the design of sampling strategy for compliance testing and benchmarking, and performance analysis and quality-control monitoring of health and environment trends.

Much of Mali's research has involved developing optimal quality-control and quality-assurance procedures for monitoring and improving the quality of products and services in a cost-effective manner. She has been extensively involved in consulting projects and delivery of short courses to different industries. The refereed publications in the area of her research are listed on Google Scholar.
