Horticulture assistant professor Yi Wang and agronomy assistant professor Rodrigo Werle were recently selected to receive Alfred Toepfer Faculty Fellow Awards. The one-year award is bestowed on pre-tenure faculty whose research benefits agricultural activities within the United States and whose areas of interest lie in the scientific fields of crop research, improvements in crop yield and quality, or animal sciences.
Wang joined CALS in June 2017 as a UW–Madison assistant professor in the Department of Horticulture and a potato and vegetable sustainable production specialist with the Division of Extension. Her research and extension programs focus on developing science-based recommendations about production management – with a focus on water use and crop fertility – to members of Wisconsin’s potato and vegetable industry to help improve their profitability and sustainability.
