Dr. Haym Benaroya is a Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace
Engineering at Rutgers University. His research interests are
focused on the conceptualization and analysis of structures placed
in challenging environments. Primary examples include offshore
drilling structures, structures subjected to explosions, and lunar
surface structures for manned habitation.
Dr. Benaroya earned his B.E. degree from The Cooper Union in New
York, and his MS and PhD from the University of Pennsylvania. Prior
to joining Rutgers University in 1989, he was a senior research
engineer at Weidlinger Associates in New York for eight years with
responsibilities for a number of defense-related studies. He is the
author of over 70 refereed journal publications, two text books -
one in Vibration and the other in Probabilistic Modeling - and two
research monographs with two former PhD students on structural
dynamics in the ocean. His book From Dust to Gold: Building a
Future on the Moon and Mars(Springer Praxis) was designated the
2012 Best Engineering Sciences Book by the International Academy of
Astronautics.
Dr. Benaroya is an elected member of the International Academy of
Astronautics.
“The book covers concepts and designs of structures and habitats on the Moon in detail … . Studying the book will give the reader a deep insight into all the technical, physiological and psychological problems and lets him establish the odds for the realization of a successful global 'Moon Village' vison. … The detailed references and registers, including all relevant interviews and quotations at the end of each chapter provide pointers to a whole universe of additional information.” (Joachim J. Kehr, Journal of Space Operations & Communicator, Vol. 15 (3), April, 2018)
