Speaker Biographies
Nancy Mendonca, is currently the NASA Deputy in ARMD’s Mission
Integration Office (AMIO). The AMIO integrates ARMD’s AAM efforts
across the four ARMD Programs and with the AAM community. She
served 24 years in the Navy flying H-46 helicopters. Between the Navy
and NASA, she worked at the Missile Defense Agency, on the Marine
Corps MRAP Program and at NTIA working on the Federal Strategic
Spectrum Plan. She graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy with a B.S.
in Aeronautical Engineering and subsequently eared M.S. degrees in
Aeronautical Engineering and National Security and Strategic Studies.
She is also a Certified Public Accountant and has currently prioritized
rescuing Great Danes and riding horses over flying helicopters.

                                                                          10
Dr. Marcus Johnson is currently Subproject Manager for the High Density
Vertiplex Subproject under the NASA Advanced Air Mobility (AAM)
Project. He has also served as a Deputy Lead for the AAM National
Campaign and a Deputy Project Manager for the Unmanned Aircraft
System (UAS) Traffic Management (UTM) Project at the NASA Ames
Research Center. He holds a doctorate in Aerospace Engineering from
the University of Florida and his research interests focus on intelligent
systems in aerospace applications and the integration of novel and new
aircraft into the national airspace.

                                                                            11
Mr. Robert Bassey is an electrical engineer with the FAA Airport
Engineering Division. Robert oversees the development of several
airport, heliport and vertiport standards, focusing on enhancing airport
safety and capacity as well as in the research and design of varied
innovative airfield systems. Prior to joining the Airport Engineering
Division, Robert worked with the FAA Airport Technology Research and
Development Team at the William J. Hughes Technical Center for several
years. He studied engineering at Syracuse University and came to the
FAA after graduation. Over the years, Robert has authored numerous
technical reports and memos detailing the findings of these research
efforts. Results of these research activities have led to the introduction
of state-of-the-art improvements into the National Airspace System.

                                                                             12
Mr. Jonathan Daniels (NUAIR). Mr. Daniels is the Chief of Strategy for

in 2012, after 23 years of combined enlisted and officer experience as
UAS pilot/sensor operator, aviator, project manager and operations
analyst. He has spent the last nine years immersed in civil UAS, UTM and
aviation infrastructure with multiple airport facilities in southern
Nevada. He is the Program Lead for the NYUASTS High-Density Vertiport
Automation Study for NASA. An internationally recognized industry
expert, he is a member-at-large on the FAA’s UAS Safety Team, the ANSI
Unmanned Aircraft Systems Standardization Collaborative Steering
Committee and the ASTM International/National Fire Protection
Association Joint Working Group and is an ASTM Fellow. He participated
as a voting member on the Remote ID and Tracking ARC and the UAS in
Controlled Airspace ARC. Mr. Daniels is the current ASTM Subcommittee
Chair for 38.03, Personnel Training, Qualification and Certification. Mr.
Daniels is the Technical Group Lead for nine developmental and nine
published standards, including WK59317, “Vertiport Design” and WK
