Prof. Imran Imran | Rewards & Recognition | Research Excellence Award

Dr. Imran is an accomplished agronomist and climate-smart agriculture researcher whose work spans crop production, soil health, environmental sustainability, UAV aerodynamics in agriculture, and climate change impacts on agro ecosystems. With two international postdoctoral fellowships one in UAV & rotorcraft microclimate engineering  South China Agricultural University, China  and another in soil health, carbon sequestration, and climate change mitigation  Çukurova University, Turkey he has emerged as a leading contributor to advanced agricultural technologies and regenerative farming systems. His multidisciplinary expertise integrates crop science, plant physiology, soil ecology, nano agriculture, biochar technology, heavy metal remediation, phosphorus biofortification, and carbon-based soil amendments. Dr. Imran has authored several internationally published books spanning agronomy, UAV applications in agriculture, climate-smart strategies, soil restoration, and sustainable food systems, including multiple titles with Springer and Taylor & Francis. With 59 peer reviewed research articles published across high impact international journals, his scientific contributions cover rotor wind microclimate engineering, nano fertilizers, organic inorganic nutrient synergy, heavy metal mitigation, carbon dynamics, and climate resilient cropping systems. His work is widely recognized, with numerous publications in the Journal of Plant Nutrition, Communications in Soil Science and Plant Analysis, International Journal of Phytoremediation, Agriculture, Agronomy, and Scientific Reports.
