Dr George Ligler has been invited to join the Board of Aeronautics and Space Engineering (ASEB) of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine for a 3-year term ending on December 31, 2023.
The ASEB was established in 1967 “to focus talents and energies of the engineering community on significant aerospace policies and programs.” The Board oversees ad hoc committees that recommend priorities and procedures for achieving aerospace engineering objectives and offers a way to bring engineering and other related expertise to bear on aerospace issues of national importance. Over the last 3 years, Dr George Ligler has participated in two studies done under the aegis of this Board, chairing one of them.
