Summary:
Douglas J. Reinemann is professor of Biological Systems Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where he has been on the faculty since 1990 where he directs the University of Wisconsin Milking Research and Instruction Lab (www.uwex.edu/uwmril). His research and teaching interests include machine milking, milking management, biomechanics, electro-pathology and the interface between energy and agriculture. He is affiliated with the Energy Analysis and Policy Program in the UW’s Gaylord Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies and is also an affiliate professor of Dairy science. Dr. Reinemann has authored more than 200 research publications and has organized professional development courses on milking and energy management issues. .
Dr. Reinemann is the US representative and Chair of the International Dairy Federation’s working group on Machine milking and the standing committee on farm management, and is the US representative to the International Standards Organization committees on milking machine performance and installation and Automatic Milking Installations. He has chaired the machine milking committees of the ASABE and the NMC and is also an ex-officio member of the board of directors of the Midwest Rural Energy Council, a membership organization whose mission is to provide education on rural energy issues.
Dr. Reinemann received the National Food and Energy Award from the ASAE in 2001, the Pound Extension Award from the UW College of Agriculture and Life Sciences in 1998, the Young Engineer Award from the Wisconsin Section of the ASAE in 1998, and was nominated as a UW Distinguished Professor in 1997.
