Dr. Bilal Khan holds a Ph.D. in computer science and is an assistant professor of Computer Science at California State University, San Bernardino. His research interests include the application of artificial intelligence techniques (including machine/deep learning, data mining, and computer vision) in cross-disciplinary areas. Dr. Khan has expertise in applied data science techniques for modeling the operation of water treatment and desalination processes, environmental impact assessment, and the prediction of water consumption in water-scarce regions. He has also been active in the development of a nanoinformatics platform in support of the safe design and management of nanomaterials. Dr. Khan teaches courses in software engineering, artificial intelligence, and modern operating systems. Dr. Khan is an active participant in the development of cloud-based cyber-infrastructure (virtual water districts) for small water treatment systems in remote, rural communities.
