James WALDIE

Co-founder, Human Aerospace • Co-founder and CEO at Cape Bionics

James Waldie studied Aerospace Engineering and Bioastronautics with research focusing on new spacesuit designs. He was a Research Scholar at UCSD and Postdoctoral Fellow at MIT, where he worked principally on his skinsuit design as a physical deconditioning countermeasure for astronauts, and served as a Principal Investigator with ESA to deploy his Skinsuit to the ISS for a 2 week mission in October 2015, and for 6 months in 2017. He was also a consultant at NASA for investigations into reducing the mobility resistance and injury mechanisms of gas-pressurised gloves, and is now an Adjunct Professor at RMIT. Dr Waldie co-founded Human Aerospace to provide specialised space life science and engineering services to the aerospace industry, and Cape Bionics to leverage this technology for terrestrial benefit.
