In 1961, Professor Ahmad returned to Trinidad & Tobago and assumed the position of lecturer at The UWI. He became a Professor of Soil Science in 1969 and was a Canada Hall warden for a number of years, mentoring many students from across the region. Professor Ahmad’s work in Tropical Soil is internationally acclaimed. He was awarded the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation in Agriculture (IICA) Gold Medal for his contribution to research in Soil Science in the Caribbean and Latin American region. Just recently The UWI was pleased to launch in Guyana and in Trinidad & Tobago his monumental book on Soil Science, published by Ian Randle. The University family, past and present, mourns his passing. |
