Dr. John Casali is the Grado Chaired Professor of Industrial and Systems Engineering and Director of the Auditory Systems Laboratory at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia. He is a Board-Certified Professional Ergonomist and Industrial Ergonomist and a Fellow of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society and the Institute of Industrial Engineers. He has received the outstanding educator and outstanding researcher awards from both of these professional societies, as well as the distinguished research award from Virginia Tech. His university research has spanned over 70 separate projects and funded to a total of over $6 million by a variety of companies, military branches, and government agencies. He holds 3 U.S. patents, and has authored over 150 publications, including over 100 refereed papers, on hearing protection, psychoacoustics research, vehicular safety, and ergonomics. As a consultant, Dr. Casali has served over 70 clients in projects concerning product/premises liability cases, patent litigation, hearing protection design and testing, ergonomics, and warning signal design. Dr. Casali is currently (2006-07) the President of the National Hearing Conservation Association.
