Dr Khalid Khan is a Senior Lecturer in Education in the College of Indigenous Futures, Education and Arts at Charles Darwin University (CDU), where he leads research in Mathematics, Mathematics Education and Data Literacy. Dr Khan has a PhD in Differential Geometry, a Master’s in Information Technology and several research publications to his credit. His research interests cover a range of topics -from Warpped Product and CR- Submanifolds in Differential Geometry, Dimension Reduction Techniques in Computer Science, to Data Literacy in STEM Education. He has previously taught at Department of Mathematics Faculty of Science, Department of Applied Mathematics Faculty of Engineering, Aligarh Muslim University in India, as well as at the Faculty of Engineering and Technology at Charles Darwin University, and St John’s College, Darwin, Australia.
Dr. Khan is a member of various journal editorial boards and has worked in a variety of editorial capacities. His study covers a wide range of topics involving mathematics, reasoning, questioning, learning skills and digital technology. He is presently the track chair of the program committee for the ICCE2022 (30th International Conference on Computers in Education) organised by Asia Pacific Society for Computers in Education’s (APSCE). Dr Khan is also the (elected) Treasurer of the Australian Computer Society’s NT Branch.
He is currently working on Questioning and Essential Learning Skills, as well as a Data Literacy Framework in STEM Education.
Mathematical Thinking, Khalid claims, is about ‘questioning the solutions’ and ‘learning from solving’ and not much about ‘solving some isolated problems’.
