Dr. Ibrahim released four winter wheat cultivars (‘Alice’, ‘Darrell’, ‘Wendy’, and ‘Expedition’).
Teaching: Dr. Ibrahim teaches a graduate level course in Experimental Designs in Agriculture. This course is designed to teach students fundamental principles of experimental designs in agricultural sciences. Emphasis includes factorial designs, predicting outputs, covariance analysis, and procedures to analyze unbalanced experimental designs as they relate to common agricultural research projects. Computer programming of common statistical software is also covered in this course.
