Dr. Jeremy Murray-Krezan

Dr. Jeremy Murray-Krezan is currently a member of the technical staff of Trusted Space Inc., where supports U.S. Space Force technology developments.

Jeremy Murray-Krezan obtained a PhD in Physics in 2007 from the University of Virginia. Dr. Murray-Krezan’s research career includes investigations into the experimental methods and applications of innovative infrared and optical remote sensing techniques, such as multi- and hyper-spectral sensing. Starting in 2007, while at the Naval Research Lab (NRL), he led efforts to design, fabricate, and demonstrate hyperspectral systems. His work was highlighted on the cover of the Applied Optics (Mar 2010). He was awarded a patent and NRL’s 2008 Alan Berman Research Publication Award.

His research into innovative remote sensing methods continued in 2010 at the Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) with a new emphasis on space situational awareness, such as the imaging of satellites near the geostationary (GEO-belt) orbits and multispectral techniques to infer satellite function. Dr. Murray-Krezan has published the most precise estimates of several characteristics of the GEO-belt debris population. Another research thrust has been to archive and disseminate unique datasets for the purposes of space situational awareness research, where he collaborates extensively with industry, academia, and internationally. In 2015, with a significant change in the U.S.’s space control policy, Jeremy Murray-Krezan played a key role for AFRL as the overall lead of the Space Command and Control Section. He was awarded AFRL’s 2011 Junior Scientific Achievement Award for space research and in 2021 the Air Force Meritorious Civilian Service Award. His professional service includes on a NATO sensors electronics and technology panel, various national-level boards, starting 2016 thru the present day as a technical committee member and session chair for Sensors & Systems for Space Applications, and multiple years on the SPIE Policy Committee.
