John Kerekes is an expert in the general areas of Earth observation and remote sensing. He has worked on the design, modeling, and analysis of satellite and airborne remote sensing systems for weather monitoring, land cover classification, and small object detection applications. He is particularly knowledgeable about the emerging field of hyperspectral imaging.

After a 15-year career at MIT's Lincoln Laboratory performing research on environmental and military remote sensing technologies, Dr. Kerekes came to RIT's Center for Imaging Science in the summer of 2004. He is currently conducting research in his areas of interest and teaching courses in Pattern Recognition and Synthetic Aperture Radar. He has participated in Air Force Science Advisory Board, NASA, NSF, NOAA, and DARPA review panels and advisory boards. He is currently active as a journal associate editor, conference organizer, and reviewer in remote sensing technology.

Dr. Kerekes received his B.S. in Electrical Engineering (1983), M.S. in Electrical Engineering (1986), and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering (1989), all from Purdue University.
