Dr. James G. Casler, P.E.
Associate Professor
Ph.D., 2000, Engineering, North Dakota State University
M.S., 1977, Aeronautical Systems, University of West Florida
M.B.A., 2006, Florida Institute of Technology
B.S., 1970, Engineering Physics, South Dakota State University
James G. Casler came to the Space Studies faculty in 2007 from private
industry with over 25 years of practical experience in contributing to
and leading large technical support organizations as
well as engineering development organizations.
Dr. Casler is an engineer by profession and
training, registered to practice as an industrial engineer
in South Dakota, North Dakota, and Maryland. He
is also an experienced manager and practitioner
with an interdisciplinary background, combining
engineering and business.
He is a graduate of the Navy's Test Pilot School
and spent over 10 years directly involved in flight
testing new aircraft and systems for the Marine
Corps. Most recently, for 11 years he has held various engineering and management positions with
what has become the Aerospace Group, Wyle
Laboratories. For the past five of those years, he
was the Senior Business Development Manager
for Research and Development and was actively
engaged in strategic planning and business development efforts oriented to new
markets in aeronautical and aerospace research and development,
primarily in the NASA engineering and technical services arena.
A student of space colonization since the mid-
1980's, Dr. Casler did his doctoral research in
human performance in space-based manufacturing settings and he continues to investigate
future industrial, e.g., mining and manufacturing,
operations on the surfaces of the Moon and Mars.
