Marcus Johnson, a Ph.D. holder in Aerospace, Aeronautical, and Astronautical Engineering from the University of Florida, has extensive experience in designing, analyzing, and flight testing advanced stabilizing control law algorithms for both manned and unmanned vehicles. He has worked on various vehicles in the commercial, military, proof-of-concept, and research domains. Marcus is a specialist in the integration of unmanned aircraft into the US national airspace and has been working on developing algorithms to automate the air traffic management system for safer air transportation.

At present, his research focuses on developing a UAS Traffic Management (UTM) system with the infrastructure and "rules of the road" that are necessary for safe operations in the NAS. He has designed, organized, and led complex flight campaigns to test the UTM concept in the field. With extensive knowledge and expertise in the field, Marcus was a former Deputy Project Manager (UAS Traffic Management) at NASA Ames Research Center and a National Campaign Deputy Lead (Advanced Air Mobility) and then the Automation Subproject Manager. Marcus has a background in making intelligent decisions in uncertain environments, particularly for multi-agent systems whose dynamics are interdependent.

In summary, Marcus Johnson is a Ph.D. holder in Aerospace, Aeronautical, and Astronautical Engineering, specializing in unmanned aircraft, air traffic management, and integrating advanced stabilizing control law algorithms into vehicles. He has worked with government organizations and corporations, including Boeing and NASA Ames Research Center.
