CEI:AgER Research Students Awarded AW Howard Fellowship

The AW Howard Fellowship funds postgraduate research in agriculture, natural resource management, and social science at Australian Universities.

Dr Wesley Moss, the first person to complete a PhD with CEI:AgER (supervised by A/Professor Phil Nichols and Dr Andrew Guzzomi), was among the recipients for the AW Howard Fellowship. Other recipients were from the School of Agriculture & Environment (SAgE), and include Ms Ruby Wiese, an honours student who was supervised by Dr Andrew Guzzomi (CEI:AgER Director) and Dr Wesley Moss.

Dr Moss, whose research focused on technology for harvesting subterranean clover (subclover), was a particularly fitting recipient for this fellowship.

“I was especially excited to have been awarded this Fellowship because of the rich history associated with AW Howard, as he was the first subclover seed producer and pioneered the area where my research takes place.”
