Moulvi Ibrahim.
Ahmed received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the
University of Wisconsin, and then joined

Dhaka University and dean of the Faculty of Biological Science of the same University. He was also provost of Salimullah Muslim Hall. He was responsible for inventing a process of preserving nutrients in the soil and later releasing them according to the needs of the vegetation. Professor Ahmed also worked as visiting professor in
