Dr. Wasiq KHAN is an expert in Artificial Intelligence and Data Sciences within the Department of Computer Science at Liverpool John Moores University, UK. He is a Senior Member of IEEE and has served as a Visiting Professor of Artificial Intelligence at several international universities. Dr. Khan obtained his B.Sc. in Mathematics, Physics, and Geography, followed by an M.Sc. in Computer Science from Pakistan. He furthered his education at Bradford University, UK, where he earned an M.Sc. in Artificial Intelligence, a Ph.D. in Speech Analysis and Intelligent Reasoning, and a Post Graduate Certificate in Higher Education Practice (PgCHEP). Additionally, he holds an ILM Certificate in Leadership and Management from LJMU.

Dr Khan has been Technological Lead, Senior Research Scientist, and Consultant on several Large-scale research projects (e.g., deception detection in iBorderCtrl: https://www.iborderctrl.eu/) in collaborations with academic institutions and industry partners worldwide. His research expertise lies in Artificial Intelligence (including Deep/Machine Learning and Pattern Recognition). Currently, Wasiq is leading on several ongoing research projects mostly covering Applied AI particularly, Law Enforcement & Public Safety (e.g., suspect identification, deep behaviour analysis), Deep facial analysis (e.g., deception detection, facial encoding), and Healthcare technologies (e.g., Huntington disease, Alzheimer disease, Autism pattern analysis).

Dr. Khan has published over 100 research outcomes in prestigious journals such as NATURE Scientific Data, NATURE Scientific Reports, IEEE/ACM Transactions, ACM Computing Surveys, and Pattern Recognition (Elsevier), as well as at international conferences. He actively engages with the public and raises impact through news blogs and media, scientific festivals and showcases, and public demonstrations.

He serves as an Associate Editor for a number of prestigious Journals, including NATURE (Scientific Data), Frontiers, Springer, and IEEE. He is also a member of organizing committees for multiple international conferences. He reviews research grant applications for UK funding councils, including UKRI/EPSRC, STFC, Innovate UK, and NIHR.
In addition to his research activities, Dr. Khan is fully involved in teaching, administrative roles, and Ph.D. supervisions. He has established academic citizenship within his research domain, supported by his Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) and his status as a Senior Member of IEEE (SMIEEE).

Public engagement:

Demonstration, Schools, Tutors, Teachers, Organisor (with local industry EdenFiftyOne as Lead), Nationwide (UK), Publishing people (EFO), Our Innovate-funded initiative with EdenFiftyOne Ltd, is showcasing its capabilities to multiple schools across the UK. Teacher feedback has specifically recognized the innovative features that enhance accessibility and interactivity, allowing users to engage with tutors' knowledge, experience, sector-specialism, and teaching style from any location, at any time, and without constraints. Presently, we are collaboratively undertaking an impact case study involving a broader spectrum of schools in the UK, and we are actively seeking external funding to facilitate further development and commercialization.. 2024

Festival event, General Public, Co-Organisor, Manchester, UK, EU-Borders & Manchester Science Festival, The research work conducted as part of iBorderCtrl really entered public consciousness in October 2018 after the EC published a story about iBorderCtrl to coincide with a showcase of the traveller’s pre-registration system at the Manchester Science Festival (MSF). A conservative estimate of global reach is 236,900,000 across all media. Since January 2019 there has been sustained activity with 190 follow-on articles (32 in English). I co-organised a Case Study in Public Perception at MSF which is an established UK science festival in its 12 year which attracts around 30,000 visitors. One of the activities involved adult members of the public volunteering to take part in a usability test of the iBorderCtrl Pre-Traveller Registration System. Over 85% of participants responded ‘iBorder|Ctrl’ as ‘safe’ for UK and EU border security. The Border Manager User Application (BMUA), was considered as one of the most interesting tools presented to Border Managers, opening new dimensions in the future in comparison to the currently used traditional means (impact details: https://www.iborderctrl.eu/Project-Outcomes/). 2018
