Nick Spivak Resume

Aerospace engineering at Rutgers New Brunswick, graduating Spring 2028.

At Rutgers University, I am researching lunar lava tubes with Professor Haym Benaroya, working toward whether one can be characterized well enough to design a pressurized habitat inside it.

Outside that I build solid-motor rockets, flying them, seeing what I can improve, and continuing. In the past, I designed an eight motor electric aircraft I sized to a 115 kg limit. What interests me most is the guidance and control that decides whether a vehicle ends up where it was aimed, especially through descent and landing.
