HUIZINGH DESERT RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP

PhD Fellowship Programs

The Huizingh Desert Research Fellowship was established in 2011 with the goal of expanding Desert Botanical Garden’s contribution to graduate training in the School of Life Sciences at Arizona State University. This fellowship honors Dr. William Huizingh, Trustee Emeritus of Desert Botanical Garden and one of its most dedicated supports. The initial fellowship was awarded to PhD student Davis Blasini, who recently completed his PhD titled “Local Adaptation Portends Tradeoffs Between Leaf Cooling and Hydraulic Risk in an Arid Land Riparian Tree Species (Populus Fremontii)”.
