    Research and Professional Experience Narrative
      Dr. Paulsen's research has concentrated in the area of grain quality as affected by drying, handling, and storage for corn and soybeans over the past 21 years. Recent interest areas are measurements for Near infrared transmittance (NIT) testing for starch, oil and protein, and use of computer vision for measurement of physical properties and visual factors relating to grain quality. Other research areas of interest have been breakage of corn during handling, corn hardness testing, moisture measurements in corn, and heat damage detection for wet milling. He has spent the Fall 1996 semester on sabbatical leave visiting with grain dryer and handling equipment manufacturers and grain drying installations and developing materials for teaching instruction. He teaches TSM 281 on Grain drying, storage and handling systems; AG E 387 on Grain drying and conditioning; and TSM 381 Electrical and microcomputer controls for agriculture.
       
      He is the recipient of several awards in research, including the ASAE Outstanding Paper Award for Transactions of ASAE publication and the Quality of Communication Award by the American Agricultural Economics Association for the publication "Corn Quality: Changes during export". Dr. Paulsen is the current Treasurer of the Illinois Chapter of Phi Kappa Phi, and is a member of Alpha Zeta, Gamma Sigma Delta, Alpha Epsilon. He is listed in Who's Who in the Midwest, American Men and Women of Science, and International Who's Who in Engineering.
       
      He is the Past-Chair of the Food and Process Engineering Institute (FPEI) and has served for 4 years as Associate Editor for Cereal Chemistry. He has reviewed over 150 manuscripts and proposals for professional societies and USDA NRICGP and Small Business Research Initiatives. Dr. Paulsen was an instructor for the American Association of Cereal Chemist's workshop on corn milling held in May 1995 and 1996. He has served as a consultant for the U.S. Feed Grains Council for assessing enhanced-value corn for Japan markets and in May 1996 was an invited speaker for a USFGC sponsored conference in Bogota, Columbia on "Grain Storage and Handling".
