Shah Iftekhar Ahmed is recognized as a dedicated Lecturer in the Department of Agronomy at Habiganj Agricultural University, Bangladesh. Born on September 1, 1995, his academic journey has been shaped by a Master’s degree in Agronomy from Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, where research on the growth and yield responses of white maize to varying spacing and irrigation frequencies was conducted for his thesis. A Bachelor’s degree in Agriculture, earned from the same institution, provided the foundational knowledge for his career in sustainable agriculture. Research and teaching have been focused on by Mr. Ahmed, with specializations including IoT-based crop monitoring systems, machine learning for nutrient management, and fertilizer optimization for sustainable farming. Efforts have also been directed toward climate-smart agricultural technologies and agronomic solutions for improved crop productivity and soil fertility. Through innovative teaching methods, students are inspired and prepared by him to address agricultural challenges. Projects like the Southeast Bank CSR initiative on climate-resilient and precision agriculture in the Habiganj Haor Basin have been actively supported by him. Recognition has been received, including the NST Fellowship from the Ministry of Science and Technology, and participation in notable conferences on agriculture 4.0 and crop diversification has been ensured. Leadership roles have been held by him, including serving as President of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University Bondhushava and Vice-President of its Debating Society.
