CEI:AgER PhD Candidate awarded AW Howard Research Fellowship

The AW Howard Memorial Trust awards a Research Fellowship to a post-graduate student undertaking pasture research. In 2019, Dr Wesley Moss, the first PhD candidate to complete their PhD with CEI:AgER, was awarded this prestigious scholarship. Now, Ruby Wiese has been awarded the scholarship for her PhD project which commenced in 2023.  

Ms Wiese is supervised by Associate Professor Andrew Guzzomi and Dr Wesley Moss from CEI:AgER, as well as Professor Megan Ryan and Associate Professor Phillip Nichols. Ms Wiese’s PhD forms part of a larger AgriFutures-funded project aimed at developing prototype machinery for harvesting subterranean clover seed, so receival of the Research Fellowship is particularly meaningful to her given AW Howard, whom the Memorial Trust was created in commemoration of, pioneered the use of sub clover as a sown pasture legume in Australia.
