About
Iftekhar Ahmad is a researcher at the forefront of sports engineering and wearable technology, specializing in the automatic detection and quantification of athletic movements. His most impactful work introduces a novel algorithm that leverages IMU sensor data to automatically track and quantify athletes’ change-of-direction incidents—a critical metric for performance analysis and injury prevention in sports. This paper, published in 2019, has garnered 33 citations, reflecting its significance in advancing real-time biomechanical monitoring. Ahmad also explores the frontiers of positioning accuracy, co-authoring a 2020 study that augments Electronic Performance Tracking Systems (EPTS) and smartwatches by integrating multiband RTK GNSS modules with UWB positioning systems. This work addresses the growing demand for high-precision tracking in professional sports, where even centimeter-level errors can affect tactical analysis. By bridging sensor fusion, navigation, and athletic performance, Ahmad’s contributions are shaping the next generation of wearable sports technology—enabling coaches and athletes to make data-driven decisions with unprecedented accuracy.
