Professor Ahson was Coordinator of Jamia BIF(Bioinformatics Infrastructure Facility) supported by the Department of Biotechnology, Government of India and Consultant to Jamia Millia Islamia for M.Sc.(Bioinformatics) course. He has created a Software Suite GEDAS for analysis and clustering of Microarray Data with his student Prof. T.V. Prasad, which is freely available from their web site. He is a member of Academic Councils and of Boards of Studies of numerous Indian universities and Government of India organizations. Dr Ahson was earlier  associated with American India Foundation’s Digital Equalizer Program aimed at promoting computers in primary and middle schools.

 

At Patna University  Prof Ahson is Chairman of IT Core Group. He has initiated the process of establishing a Campus-Wide Network to provide Internet access to around 1000 Faculty Members, Administrative Staff, the Library, UGC Academic Staff College and ten constituent colleges and 31 PG Departments of Studies including Social Science, Commerce, Humanities, Science, Law and Education. He is also getting the Examination System of Patna University automated for which an MoU has been signed with NIC which will implement Chanakya software for examination system. He has also taken initiative for digitization of manuscripts and implementation of access to 22 digital libraries through VSAT. Financial accounting, Web-based Employees Management System, and  Stores/Purchase, and Web site management are other initiatives. He is very keen for infrastructure development at Patna University to provide quality education to around 20,000 students of Patna University. He also teaches Bioinformatics in combined class of around 50 students from M.Sc.Courses in Biotechnology, Biodiversity and  Microbiology.
