Auburn University Professor Hanqin Tian was named a 2019 Andrew Carnegie Fellow and will receive $200,000 to support his research on how Asia — home to more than half of the world’s population — can provide enough food for its citizens without causing detrimental effects on the environment.
Tian, who is the Solon and Martha Dixon Professor and University Alumni Professor in the School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences, or SFWS, is one of 32 Carnegie Fellows nationwide selected from nearly 300 nominees by the Carnegie Corporation of New York, which awards grants to recipients for their high-caliber research.
