At Lincoln Laboratory, Dr. Kerekes led efforts to assess and model the end-to-end system performance of hyperspectral imaging sensors for target detection and surface characterization applications. He also applied his analysis techniques to tradeoff studies of design parameters and investigations of new applications for passive environmental sensing satellite instruments.

1983 - 1984, Member of Technical Staff, Space and Communications Group, Hughes Aircraft Company, El Segundo, California, where he performed circuit design for communications satellites.
