CV – Khalid Ahmad Khattak

Profile

I am a Computer Science researcher and educator with experience across school and university levels. My academic interests lie in wearable health technologies, reproducibility in computational health research, scientific reporting standards, and software engineering education. I also design full programming courses, focusing on clarity, accessibility, and practical learning for beginners and advanced students.

Alongside teaching, I have worked in research roles, contributed to peer-reviewed publications, supervised student work, supported university-level lab sessions, and presented at academic events. My background spans engineering, computer science, Islamic studies, and digital health.
