The AHRI conducts and supports research activities with the intention of building the capability of HR professionals in Australia.
In order to continue to raise the standard of AHRI's research activities, the AHRI Board of Directors and Council of State Presidents have recommended the establishment of a research advisory panel. The panel will comprise leading academics from Australian universities representing both generalist and specialist areas.

He is also part of a large CQUniversity Merit grant and early career researcher's grant project that identified key social and economic contributions of skilled migrants in regional Australia and key dynamics of employees' management in the resource sector.
Dr Ahmed has been keynote speaker at an International HRM Conference in Malaysia and at the 2013 Harmony Day celebration organised by Gladstone Regional Council.
