Biography
I am currently a Emeritus Professor of Agricultural Engineering and part-time researcher at the University of Wisconsin. I retired from the UW in 2022 after 37 years on the faculty. Prior to joining the faculty in June of 1985, I had earned my PhD in Agricultural Engineering in May, 1985 from the University of Wisconsin. During two leaves of absence from my faculty role at the UW, I worked as a Research Engineer for New Holland North America (1994-1995) and as Manager of Hay and Forage Product Planning for John Deere Ottumwa Works (1995-1996).
My research focused on developing more efficient means of harvesting, processing, handling, storing and transporting biomass feedstocks; improving machines and systems for harvesting and conserving high-quality hay and forage; and sensors and systems for precision farming as it applies to hay, forage and biomass production. I continue to work on research projects related to these topics.
