Marcus has worked in the technology development industry in both software and hardware, since 1979. He spent 19 years at Nortel, including 8 years in the office of the CTO as an advisor on network security standards. He was involved in the IETF for many years, including chairing several working groups, and spent four years as security-area director in that organization. He is the author of several IETF RFCs.

He has been involved in small-scale radio astronomy since the late 1980s, and in 2004 began investigating and “evangelizing” Software Defined Radio for use in radio astronomy experiments. His papers on the subject can be found in the proceedings of our sister organization, The Society of Amateur Radio Astronomers.
