Eric Marie Feron is a computer scientist and aerospace engineer. He has been the Dutton/Ducoffe Professor of Aerospace Software Engineering at Georgia Tech since 2005.

He taught at MIT's Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics from 1993 until his appointment at Georgia Tech. He obtained his BS from Ecole Polytechnique in 1989, his MS from Ecole Normale Suprieure in 1990, and PhD from Stanford University in 1994. His particular research foci are aerobatic control of unmanned aerial vehicles, multi-agent operations, including air traffic control systems and aerospace software system certification.^[1] One of his students at MIT was Selçuk Bayraktar, the designer of the Bayraktar TB2 drone.^[2]
