Hellevang Awarded Highest Professional Honor
Ken Hellevang was named an American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) Fellow, which is the ASABE’s highest honor with no more than 0.2 (2/10) percent of the organization’s active members granted the grade of Fellow annually. Hellevang, an Extension agricultural engineer and professor in the Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering Department at North Dakota State University, received the recognition on July 23 during the ASABE Annual International Meeting in Kansas City, Missouri.
The ASABE recognizes a member of unusual professional distinction as a Fellow for his or her extraordinary qualifications and experience in agricultural, food or biological systems engineering. Hellevang was honored for his contributions worldwide in crop postharvest engineering, structures and indoor environmental engineering, flooding preparation and recovery, energy efficiency.
He has conducted research on grain drying and storage topics, including moisture content changes in stored grain during the summer, drying and storing dry edible beans, air temperature increases due to grain drying and aeration fans, and aeration duct design. In addition to providing education and technical assistance on grain drying and storage across the country, Hellevang is co-chair of the national Extension Disaster Education Network’s flooding team, which provides and coordinates education and assistance to university personnel across the U.S.; chair of the national eXtension group that provides educational technical assistance to the public on flooding-related topics; and NDSU Extension’s resource person for mold topics and structural flooding.
Hellevang holds B.S. and M.S. degrees from South Dakota State University and a Ph.D. from NDSU.
