Nicholas C. Nicholas, PhD has enjoyed a full career as a physicist, analyst, problem solver, and scientific project manager. His experimental and theoretical work have an exceptionally wide range. He has conducted analyses and studies based on physics, mathematics, and various engineering disciplines. He has formulated and led operational studies including submarine trials of emerging technologies, military field trials of technologies for military defense, and analyses of military requirements and technological threats to US forces. The operational exercises required him to ride submarines, surface ships, military aircraft, and at times to bivouac with soldiers in the field. Early in his career, Dr. Nicholas served as the engineering officer in the first simulated Apollo flight. He was fitted with a pressure suit and underwent extensive training. He spent eight days in an Apollo capsule doing all that was required for a flight to the moon. Dr. Nicholas has spent substantial periods of time working in the Middle East, Ukraine, and Western Europe. He has always gravitated towards interesting work and would change very little if he could do it all again.
