Dr. Wasiq KHAN is a Senior Lecturer in Artificial Intelligence & Data Sciences within the Department of Computer Science at Liverpool John Moores University, UK. He is also a Senior Member of IEEE and has been serving as a Visiting Professor of Artificial Intelligence at multiple International Universities (e.g., University of Anbar, Iraq). Wasiq received his B.Sc. in Mathematics, Physics, and Geography following an M.Sc. in Computer Science from Pakistan. At Bradford University UK, He received an M.Sc. in Artificial Intelligence for Board Games following by a Ph.D. in Speech Analysis & Intelligent Reasoning and a Post Graduate Certificate in Teaching & Learning in Higher Education (PGCHEP). He has also received an ILM Certificate for Leadership and Management from LJMU.
Wasiq has been leading several large-scale research projects as Senior Research Scientist and Consultant in collaborations with Academic Institutions and Industry across the globe. He is research active within the domain of Artificial Intelligence (Deep/Machine Learning, Pattern Recognition) and Data Science. Currently, Wasiq is leading on several ongoing research projects mostly covering Applied AI and Data science in diverse domains including: Law Enforcement & Public Safety (e.g., suspect identification, deep behaviour analysis), Deep facial analysis (e.g., deception detection, mental health), Autonomous environments (e.g., deep vision for blind people mobility aid), and Healthcare technologies (e.g., Huntington disease, Alzheimer disease, Autism pattern analysis etc.).
Wasiq has been publishing the research outcomes in prestigious Journals (e.g., NATURE Sci. Data; IEEE/ACM Transactions; ACM Computing Surveys; Pattern Recognition Elsevier etc.) and international conferences. He has been active in public engagements and impact raising activities such as news blogs & media, scientific festivals, scientific show cases, and public demonstrations.
