Faheem Ahmad, PhD, is a Senior Assistant Professor. He gained postdoctoral experiences at Ehime University (Japan), North-West University (South Africa), Ege University (Turkey) and National Sun Yat-Sen University (Taiwan). His research is based on the study of plant-nematode interaction, plant disease, microbe-mediated biotic stress management and agricultural biotechnology & microbiology. The long-term objective of Ahmad's lab research is to enhance understanding of the metabolomic response of host plants to pathogens, including plant-parasitic nematodes using analytical instruments and to use this knowledge to provide new resources for reducing crop yield losses.
He is the author of > 53 manuscripts, an associate editor of the Journal of Plant Diseases and Protection (Springer), and an Academic Editor of Peer J-Life & Environment. He is a recipient of several fellowships and awards, including NRF, TSRO Young Scientist, SERB-DST Young Scientist and TUBITAK foreign researcher award. He is a Fellow of the International Society for Development and Sustainability and Bose Science Society.
AMU is a perfect place to work on nematodes. If you are interested in joining the lab, don't hesitate to get in touch at ahmad_nematol@yahoo.com.
